General :: Stop Drivers Modules Auto-installing?
Jul 20, 2011
I have two devices (a usb modem and a camera) permanently hard-wired into my system. When linux boots, it automatically inserts their drivers. However, I would like this to be under my control to insert as and when needed. Can anyone give any pointers as to how I might disable auto-insertion, whilst still allowing manual insertion via insmod or modprobe? I understand the usual method would be to use modules.conf, however in my modules.conf file, there is no entries at all.

I am relatively new to linux and am running into a problem. I just got a new laptop and need to configure/install it's wireless driver but am getting an error when running "make". The error is: make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop/build' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
I have scoured these forums and know that others have the same issue (when configuring other drivers/programs). I am sorry if this post is redundant. It sounds like the Makefile is pointing to the wrong directory. I am using opensuse 11.4, have make and gcc installed. My kernel is linux-2.6.37.1-1.2 (I just re-installed the desktop kernel to make sure it was up to date). The driver I am trying to install is located here: AUR (en) - rtl8192ce.
Another forum suggests pointing somewhere in the /usr/src/linux-2.6.37.1-1.2 directory instead. Is this correct? Should I be pointing to a folder within this? I am not a programmer but any description about what I am actually putting in this directory and why would be awesome (so I can learn a bit more). Or just helping me solve the problem would be great too.

I installed apache from a source *.tar.gz with default configuration. Can I enable other modules (like mod_ssl, mod_dav_svn,...) while apache is running?

Here is my problem:I work with the BioPerl project. At first, I installed cpan modules without any problem,(eg.) sudo cpan -i CPAN::ModuleI've a proxy connection (university) and I'd configured my proxy settings correctly: perl -MCPAN -eshellIn the beginning it worked, but I don't know why it doens't work today. Here is the outline:
fernando@fer-laptop[fernando] sudo cpan -i Algorithm::Cluster
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.15)
Going to read '/home/fernando/.cpan/Metadata'

I am running 11.04 and would like to stop the loading of the parport and lp modules. I put entries in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file and ran update-initramfs -u. After a reboot lsmod shows both modules as being loaded.

Is there anyway of identifying which modules and drivers are being used on my machine? A log or app? I have a minimal install and what to install another, this time with only the hardware drivers/modules my machine needs (for instance, I don't need software for Xeon processors as I don't have one, therefore don't want that stuff hanging around serving no purpose).

I am using Fedora 13, kernel 2.6.33.3-85. I have a TV tuner card and lspci shows this:
01:0a.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)
Which software should I use to view TV on my PC? Also, how should I check that the drivers/modules for my TV tuner has been loaded or not ?

I've been trying to load my pcmcia network card driver "xirc2ps_cs" at startup with no success. I have added "modprobe xirc2ps_cs" to the rc.modules file but it doesn't load at startup. Curiously, though, if I execute rc.modules AFTER the machine has booted it will load the modules just fine. Just not during the boot up process. Thinking that hotstart might have been causing problems I've disabled hotstart (chmod -x) temporarilly to remove it from the picture, but there was no change.

This is the problem I run lspci -v which checks all drivers on my system and more. It says kernel driver in use is nouveau. Then under that it says kernel modules: nvidia recent, nvidia-96, nouveau, nvidiafb. So what it looks like I have 3-4 drivers for my video card loaded and one, nouveau, being used. I think they conflict with each other.
I'm trying to add drivers other then nouveau, because the mouse freezes with it. At this point I can't seem to get rid of nouveau, I go to terminal and type:
sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
And it says that it's not loaded so I can't dump it. lspci-v says nouveau is the driver being used and trying to dump it. It says it isn't installed. I'm confused. I want to dump nouveau, what should I do? I also go into Synaptic package manager and it isn't listed as being installed.

I was going through some settings and inadvertently changed the UID for my primary logon. I then realized what I did and changed it back and set the group back to my username.Since then, it only auto-logs in on startup. I cannot get it to prompt for a password again. I've tried normal things like changing "ask for password on login" and then changing it back, but that hasn't helped. I'm sure there's something else that I'm missing, but don't know what it is. Right now, it says "asked on login" but it doesn't.

I have one of those lovely Western Digital external hard drives and it seems to have an UDF "partition" on the hard drive itself. I cannot format it, remove it from the hard drive itself, or disabling the UDF seems to be a no go once its popped into a Linux distribution of any kind.
So my question is, is it possible to stop the UDF from even auto mounting at all?

I have, for days, been trying to get a Fedora 15 server to send audio output to the system monitor, an ASUS VH242H, via HDMI. The video portion works perfectly, allowing me to appreciate GNOME 3 for the first time. Sound, on the other hand, is non-existent.
From many, many threads on this problem, I have at least been able to provide some info which might help resolve this. Unfortunately, I have now read too much and followed too many suggestions to be able to find my way through the morass. So, once again, I built a completely new system to ensure a clean start.
Note also that to simplify things, I disabled the on-board audio in BIOS so only Nvidia has any sound output capability. Initially, 'alsamixer -V all' identifies the card and the chip as being PulseAudio. That would change if I used the <F6> option but I have not done so to keep things 'clean' at this point. The 'Master' is full on (100<>100), so muting is not a problem. Next, I searched for the device from the output of /proc/asound/card0 which would match the monitor.
The one device associated with the monitor_name is eld#3.0:
monitor_present 1
eld_valid 1
monitor_name ASUS VH242H

Both the kernel driver and the kernel modules are not what I think I should have. The kernel driver should be HDA NVidia for starters, no? Running modprobe -l and looking for nvidia returns:
'kernel/drivers /video/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko'and 'extra/nvidia/nvidia.ko' But I have not attempted anything beyond this point because I am just too confused as to what needs to be done and who or what manages these values effectively.

Have you had to download drivers for GNU/Linux and install them when some device didn't work? Except nVidia/ATi drivers I mean. Just like in Windows. Or the only driver you can download for GNU/Linux is a driver for videocard and all other are in always in the system?

I am on a Fedora 12 box, and it's my job to do some custom configs to xorg.conf. To start this, I have to remove a bunch of devices' entries and modify others. We're using the proprietary Nvidia drivers, and they work fine except that something - perhaps the NVIDIA X Server Settings app - keeps modifying the xorg.conf. After I write a change to see if it will work or break the machine, I have to restart the entire computer, as restarting X by itself blanks out the monitor so that I can't even see a virtual console. After the restart, X starts just fine and goes into GNOME, but as soon as I look at the xorg.conf, everything I've removed or commented out from the original, auto-generated file has reappeared. How to stop this infuriating behavior so that I can rewrite xorg.conf and make the changes stick?

I already have two other threads open for a dysfunctional system. Thread 1: Boot hangs at logon sound - no video signal - appears drive is still working [URL]..Thread 2: Where are boot log files and how I can see those? [URL]...Basically both of those are for not able to complete the boot (hanging up in the middle of booting) in Karmic. I had Karmic since it came out but suddenly about two weeks ago just stopped booting. Except for the battery and resetting BIOS, I had checked all the hardware - and all appear to be okay. Following a tip from x1a4, I started looking into logs (admittedly not knowing exactly what I am looking for) and I ran into auth.log. Following is the code. The highlighted part is confusing (to me) and I am wondering if this may cause to stop booting (or completing the boot process) since I was using auto logon. I do not know if there is anything else (logs) you may need, please advise and I will provide those.

I am running openVPN to secure my wireless network traffic right now. Everything works great except every once in a while, my Internet connection will drop out for about a minute or so. Ubuntu very nicely tries to reconnect, and most of the time successfully does. The issue is that if I don't catch it every time this happens, I am now running without my VPN.
I want to know if there is any way to DISABLE auto-reconnect to a wireless network if connection is lost or signal fades.
Im running ubuntu 10.10 by the way

CentOS and RHEL even though I've been using various Debian/Ubuntu Distros for quite some time. However, I always used to install perl modules via apt-get or, if that did not work, via cpan.In CentOS, I tried installing a couple of perl modules via yum but there are only a very few available. When trying to install perl modules via cpan, the install process usually fails during the make process.I'd prefer to install those modules via the distribution's package manger yum as it's easier to resolve dependencies. Are there any repositories I should add to have more perl packages available? (Where to add further repositories, I just know /etc/apt/sources.list in debian based distros)The other option still would be to install perl modules via cpan. For instance, when trying to cpan install Geo::IP, the output is as follows:
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata

I have Debian Squeeze AMD64 bit release. It finds my wired ethernet connection and ues itfine, although nothing shows up in the top right corner under the networking icon.
When I plug my mobile phone in (HTC S620) it always uses this as the main internet connection and then even if disconnected wont use my wired connection until I reboot.
Is there a way to stop it doing this or at least have my wired connction as an option so I can just click to reconnect to my ethernet connection?
