How to unload kernel module ‘nvidia-drm’?
I’m trying to install the most up-to-date NVIDIA driver in Debian Stretch. I’ve downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.48.run from here, but when I try to do
kernel-modules
Find out which modules are associated with a usb device?
Could you recommend a way to figure out which driver is being used for a USB device.
Sort of a usb equivalent of lspci -k command.
Determining cause of Linux kernel panic
I’m running an Ubuntu 12.04 derivative (amd64) and I’ve been having really strange issues recently. Out of the blue, seemingly, X will freeze completely for a while (1-3 minutes?) and then the system will reboot. This system is overclocked, but very stable as verified in Windows, which leads me to believe I’m having a kernel panic or an issue with one of my modules. Even in Linux, I can run LINPACK and won’t see a crash despite putting ridiculous load on the CPU. Crashes seem to happen at random times, even when the machine is sitting idle.
What is a tainted Linux kernel?
Under certain conditions, the Linux kernel may become tainted. For example, loading a proprietary video driver into the kernel taints the kernel. This condition may be visible in system logs, kernel error messages (oops and panics), and through tools such as lsmod, and remains until the system is rebooted.
How to assign USB driver to device
This question is two-fold:
What is the difference between kernel drivers and kernel modules?
When I do a lspci -k on my Kubuntu with a 3.2.0-29-generic kernel I can see something like this:
How to list all loadable kernel modules?
I’m looking for a few kernel modules to load i2c-dev and i2c-bcm2708. But the modprobe command returns:
Are Modules listed under /sys/module all the Loaded Modules?
I’m wondering if I can use the directory listing of /sys/module instead of lsmod to get a list of currently loaded modules.
What is the sequence loading linux kernel module on startup? How priority is set to them?
I have a Linux kernel module which I compiled dynamically. How is it added to startup? There are lot of .ko files in /lib/modules. How is priority set for loading these modules?
How to block drivers built-into Kernel, i.e. drivers who are not a module
I configured and compiled Linux kernel with nouveau driver built-into kernel, i.e. with <*> as opposed to <M> when doing make menuconfig inside Linux kernel source directory.
