not working with ubuntu 16.10 #106

Closed pacuna closed 7 years ago

pacuna commented 7 years ago

Is this because of my kernel version? I saw there's a known issue with kernels later than 4.5

$ uname -r
4.8.0-32-generic

afaik it should work on 16.10. Can you describe your problem in more detail?

pacuna commented 7 years ago

@patjak I followed all of the instructions and everything went OK but I sill get no device found (I tried the installation 2 times and rebooting after). Is there any command I can run to show you more information?

Did you take a look at the "Known issues" section in the wiki? You might have missed to unload the bdc_pcie module.

thanks @patjak ! That did the work.
