Slackware :: Module Fbdev Is Not Available
Feb 11, 2011
I have just done a clean install on slackware64-current and I am suffering some graphics problems.I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD3200 card in my Laptop (Never been an issue before), however, the issue begins before I even start X server.On the first boot, the screen went purple then entirely blank.Second boot got me to a login, so I logged in and installed my packages. I started my WM (Ratpoison) and any attempt to start any windows resulted in an x-server crash and the message:
Module fbdev not available (Paraphrasing here).Is anyone else suffering this?I will note that everything works flawlessly on the previous current build.

On Slackware 13.1, I am trying to connect to another computer using:
X :1.0 -query <hostname>
but I get a black screen and then the following error:
$ X :1.0 -query slackserver
X.Org X Server 1.7.7
Release Date: 2010-05-04
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
[code].....
I tried to connect to both another Slackware 13.1 computer and a Debian computer. I also edited the /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess file on the remote host to enable the graphical login access. I always get the same error.

I am running Slackware 12.2, and if in an xterm I use mplayer to play a video using:Code:mplayer -vo fbdev2or something similar, the video starts "playing" in a very weird way and winds up locking up my computer. I typically can CTRL+ALT+Delete to make the computer restart, but I absolutely hate having to restart. Is there a way to get my computer to "refresh" and forget about the screwy use of the framebuffer

i have 2 nic's that use the same 8139too module to be operated.so in order to run them i added in /etc/modprobe.d/a file with 2 aliases for the 2 nics alias eth0 8139too alias eth1 8139too and I added a udev rule to give the name eth1 to the 2nd card (the 1st card already had a rule) i still don't get the 2nd rule to be brought up automatically at start up... ifconfig only returns 'eth0' and i have to manually do 'ifconfig eth1 up' at which time the interface is brought up nicely.. then i do a dchpcd to get a network address and im all set. but i would like to do this automatically... note that i know that if i add static ips in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf i will get both ifs up... but i wonder how its gonna happen with the 2nics being 2 dhcp clients.

I am using the 13.1 build scripts from slackbuilds.org. I modified the scripts to build 3.2.12 rather than 3.2.10.
In 13.1 the main VirtualBox 3.2.12 OSE package built and installed without errors. The VirtualBox GUI starts without errors.
Running the virtualbox-kernel-mksrctarball.sh script built a kernel source package without errors.
Yet the VirtualBox kernel module won't build. I receive the following error:
Code:
]*** Building 'vboxdrv' module ***
make[1]: Entering directory `/dev/shm/virtualbox-kernel-3.2.12/vboxdrv'
make KBUILD_VERBOSE= -C /lib/modules/2.6.33.11-smp-2/build SUBDIRS=/dev/shm/virtualbox-kernel-3.2.12/vboxdrv SRCROOT=/dev/shm/virtualbox-kernel-3.2.12/vboxdrv modules

Actually, I have posted this problem here but I don�t know if is best to ask it here. The problem is that I have upgraded my OS to Slackware 13.1 64 bits, and now, I can�t compile the module RT73 from serialmonkey
There are a lot of similar tutorials explaining the steps for a succesfully installation. I had followed any of them before, and I had no problem never.
But now, I get this error:
Code:
make[1]:Entering directory "/usr/src/linux-2.6.33.4"
Building modules, stage 2
MODPOST 0 modules
make [1]: Leaving directory "/usr/src/linux-2.6.33.4"
rt73.ko failed to build!
make:*** [module] Error 1
On the other hand, in the serialmonkey page they said that the driver was included into the kernel yet, but I don�t know how can I now if I have the driver installed. The true is that my usb doesn�t work.
It�s is a USB D-Link System AirPlus G DWL-G122 Wireless Adapter (rec.C1) [Ralink RT73]

I installed VirtualBox-OSE and VirtualBox-Kernel from the Slackbuilds at slackbuilds.org.When I start VirtualBox I get the following message on the CLI: Code: WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded.Either there is no module available for the current kernel (2.6.33.4-smp) or it failed to load.Please recompile the kernel module and install it by sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup.You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.I gave /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv executable permissions, and then ran.The only issue is, I have to do this each time that I reboot, should I add 'modprobe vboxdrv' to one of the startup scripts or is something else wrong?

I want to use my C-Media USB Audio Adapter with Slackware 13.1
When I connect the device it is shown in lsudb:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0d8c:c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter
Do i need to have the snd_usb_audio kernel module. However when is call modprobe snd_usb_audio I get: Fata: Module snd_usb_audio not found.
I though that snd_usb_audio was not build with the kernel, so I did:
Without making any modifications the .config the file already has CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=m . Does this mean that the current kernel has that module? If so why I cannot load it?

To clarify: I have two kernels, (a) one that "works" and (b) another that I am experimenting with. Each has it's own modules directory tree (in /lib/modules) and they are mutually incompatible ie kernel (a) will only work with module tree (a) and similarly for (b). I have two boot entries in lilo.conf which can be selected from the boot menu.
Now the problem is, what if something goes wrong when I boot to (b)? I'd like to be able to return to the safe option (a), but the current module tree is (b) and it won't work with kernel (a). I could use the Slack installationCD and rename the module directory (I presume this would work)but is there a simpler way, whereby I can select the correct module tree at boot time (or set it in lilo.conf)?

I download "VirtualBox-3.1.2-56127-Linux_amd64.run" and installed it, and got a messages like this " virtualbox have been installed successfully in my system", but when I run virtualbox, I've been told "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" something like that. And I run virtualbox in terminal, got this:
Warning: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (2.6.29.6) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
I run "/etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv start" as a root, got messages like this :

(modprobe vboxdrv failed.)

my Conky needed the Coretemp, and a friend of LQ told me to run modprobe, and it works greate! no every time I start my system, I need to run the modprobe to add the module to Kernel. How can I put the coretemp to start every startup? (I think there is somenthing to do with a file on the rc.module at /etc/rc.d/, but I'm afraid to do something stupid...) I want to make the conky running after start of the system. How can I do this?

I had an issue with the module build for vbox 3.1.2 breaking on the latest kernel ( /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup ). Apparently the issue is that a kernel header (autoconf.h ) has changed its location in the module tree and hence the issue.
2 options:
1. upgrade to 3.1.4
2. create a symlink as follows
cd /usr/src/linux/include/linux
ln -s ../generated/autoconf.h autoconf.h

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support. Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. So then after some googling I got the suggestion to downgrade udev-151 to udev-141, but that yeilded no results. So I did some more googling and a bunch of people who had the same problem said that downgrading module-init-tools worked, so I downgraded from module-init-tools 3.11 something to 3.6 and now, not only does my X no longer work, but no modules are being loaded I believe, for example I saw in my startup that fuse was not being loaded, ndiswrapper which I had installed was not loaded.

A little background first: Wireless card: Broadcom BCM4312 Wireless driver used: [URL].... (and slackbuild variation of the same)
GFX card: nVidia geForce 7150m I installed Slackware yesterday, along side my Ubuntu (yes yes, I use Ubuntu lol. I've been using it for about four years, I added Slackware to grub.cfg, using the OS prober, which added four menu entries. The first two caused kernel panic, the third worked, and I don't think I tried the fourth. (I'm pretty sure they were, in this order: generic, generic-smp, huge, and huge-smp). Using huge, I could not modprobe my wireless driver, I would get a "Invalid Module Format" error with wl, and when installing the nVidia drivers (from their site), I would get:
[code]....
I then booted using a menuentry my friend gave me, created my initrd, and everything worked fine, both graphics and wireless (mostly fine). So I upgraded to -current, kernel 2.6.35.10, and I started getting the same errors as before, 'Invalid Module format' and the same thing with the nVidia drivers, although this time, it happens regardless of if I use the generic kernel, or the huge kernel. I've done heaps of Google'ing around, and nothing I found worked.

I've been trying to install module em28xx in a Slackware 12.0 installation that has been operating for several years. This is the em28xx that is part of the Slackware 12.0 distribution itself (kernel 2.6.21.5).
Unfortunately, although em28xx is fine, modprobe has a problem with dependent module i2c-core, which is generating an "Invalid module format" message. The system is using the generic Slackware 12.0 kernel, not the huge kernel.

an old Compaq Presario 8000, which I reluctantly took, as I tend to end up with more computers than I use and more or less end up acting as a disposal agent. It's a 2.4Ghz machine, which will suffice for whatever I felt like installing on it.I have a generic wifi pci card with a Realtek RTL8185 chipset in it, which I never used and thought I'd set up that computer with it. Hadn't installed Slackware 13 on anything, and it's a distro I like so I went at it.Install went well, no problems there, but I've used Slackware for about 9 years so I'm readily familiar with that end o' things.
I found the rtl8180 module to be causing problems. It would load on boot, but wouldn't bring up a wireless interface. I was able to remove the module with 'rmmod rtl8180' well enough, but when I would load it again with 'modprobe rtl8180', the system would lock. Tried that a few times, same result. I ran across mention of a driver on Realtek's web site, so I downloaded and installed it. That one is identified as 'r8180'. I added 'rtl8180' to the module blacklist to prevent it from being loaded at boot, and proceeded to set up wpa_supplicant.conf for my WPA-PSK connection. Came up without a hitch.The connection is stable thus far, with a respectable link quality. The Realtek driver can be found here.I thought I might document my solution here in case someone else runs across the same issue that I experienced.I'm thinking of slapping another wireless NIC in that computer, or perhaps testing with multihoming possibly. This computer will probably end up as an AP for relaying my wireless traffic to an AP downstairs. I have one USB NIC (Alfa AWUS036S)with a 5dB antenna that has a strong signal, but the ones of more a common variety could use a little help

64bit Slack doesn't recognize my ethernet device. ifconfig -a show no eth0. It's an onboard nvidia MCP55 ethernet nic. Never had this problem using 32 bit Slack.
When I try to modprobe forcedeth I get the following error:

I just recompiled my kernel with every possible 10/100 ethernet device included in the modules. Still no go.

When I try to load the Realtek 8187 modules to kernel using the ./wlan1up command, I get the following error:

insmod: error inserting 'ieee80211_crypt-rtl.ko': -1 File exists

Can someone tell me how to correct the "Invalid module format"? I hope that correcting the "Invalid module format" error, I will not have the "Unknown symbol in module" error.
Note: I am using wlan1 for this module as I previously am online with the wlan0 network.The same error occurs if I use ./wlan0up.

I did not see the source code in the kernel version I have. where can I find the code for U32 module.
I have checked "netfilter.org" and looks like POM is discontinued. Is the u32 module committed to kernel version 2.6.27 or need to patch it. If yes, where can I find the patch?
