The step is not yet completed, check the box that says Delete the driver software for this device. Click on the dropdown (down arrow key) and right-click on the driver. You may add more targets to the hook and make additional copies of the hook if you have installed other kernels. Go to the device whose driver is old or problematic. etc/pacman.d/hooks/90-mkinitcpio-dkms-linux.hook ĭescription=Update dkms modules in Linux initcpioĮxec=/bin/sh -c 'while read -r trg do case $trg in linux) exit 0 esac done /usr/bin/mkinitcpio -p linux'
zfs-dkms AUR, you may want to write a pacman hook to automate the process of regenerating initramfs image(s).įor example, when using linux and mkinitcpio, to update ZFS module after each zfs-dkms AUR upgrade, In case you have got any kernel modules installed via DKMS that are used in initial ramdisk, e.g. If this is the case, go through /usr/lib/modules/ kernel_release and /var/lib/dkms/ package_name and delete all files and directories no longer in use. If the package dkms is removed the information regarding previous module build files is lost. To remove a module (old ones are not automatically removed): To build a specific module for the currently running kernel: Rebuild all modules for the currently running kernel: To list the current status of modules, versions and kernels within the tree: # source /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/dkms To deal with changes in the kernel, fix bugs, or add necessary features consider upgrading the DKMS package before rebooting. This applies in particular if the system relies on the DKMS module to boot successfully and/or if you use DKMS with a custom kernel not in the official repositories. You should pay extra attention to the pacman output. Though the rebuild of the DKMS modules is usually seamless during a kernel upgrade, it may still happen that the rebuild fails. Other kernels have their own respective headers packages.Ī good number of modules that lie outside the kernel source tree have a DKMS variant a few are hosted in the official repositories, most are found in the AUR. A updater using a dropbox link or a file download link to update youre winform applications. For example, for the default linux kernel this would be linux-headers. Install-Package DynUpdater -Version 1.0.4-Alpha0.
Install the dkms package and the headers for the target kernel/kernels.
