#modprobe — Public Fediverse posts

  1. Had trouble connecting my MSI Katana to WiFi on BashCoreX live — no connection to the router at all. Turns out the kernel modules msi_wmi and wmi_bmof were interfering.
    Running this command fixed it:

    sudo modprobe -r msi_wmi wmi_bmof

    After that, I just ran:

    sudo nmtui

    to configure the network, and WiFi worked perfectly!

    If you have an MSI laptop and WiFi issues on Linux, this might help.

    #modprobe #wifi #msi #katana #nmtui #bashcore #bashcorex #debian #kernel #linux

  2. Solución al error VirtualBox can’t operate in VMX root mode

    Tras la actualización en Debian Trixie a la versión 6.12.6 del kernel de Linux he ido a arrancar mis máquinas virtuales de Virtualbox, y Vagrant me ha devuelto el siguiente error:

    VBoxManage: error: VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE)

    La extensión KVM del kernel es la que conecta con el sistema de virtualización de Intel, el que usa mi Thinkpad. En un primer momento he intentado desactivar en la BIOS el sistema de virtualización de Intel y reconfigurar el kernel. Eso no ha funcionado, Virtualbox necesita el sistema de virtualización para funcionar.

    Luego he probado a desactivar los módulos KVM del kernel:

    sudo modprobe -r kvm_intelsudo modprobe -r kvm

    Tras la desactivación, Virtualbox vuelve a funcionar perfectamente.

  3. Just wasted some time on the following:

    $ modprobe foo
    modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'foo': Exec format error

    $ file `modprobe -n foo`
    # Looks OK

    After some digging:

    $ modprobe -v foo
    insmod /path/to/bar.ko
    modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'foo: Exec format error

    $ file /path/to/bar.ko
    # Wrong architecture

    (bar.ko is a dependency of foo.ko.

    Or rather: was. In a previous, broken, build. Don't ask)

    #modprobe

  4. For some reason my freshly installed #Debian #Linux does not find #modprobe, which is in /sbin/modprobe. Same for ldconfig. Any idea why? Some paths problem?
