[SOLVED]Modprobe Issue : Module Not Found

So im trying to switch over from Manjaro and Im trying to get zenpower working to monitor temps but I keep getting this error trying to activate it:

modprobe: FATAL: Module zenpower not found in directory /lib/modules/5.12.6-artix1-1

 I built zenpower through pamac. I actually had the same issue when I first tried on Manjaro as well, but I tried a diffrent package that installed what I was apparently missing, but none of the 3 zenpower pckages available are giving me that option in Artix, and I didnt pay close enough attention on manjaro to know what Im actually missing :(. I have linux-headers installed.

you need install one of this packages: zenpower-zen3-dkms, zenpower-dkms or zenpower-dkms-git. Be sure that module is realy compiled during installing!

The zenpower kernel module will be available on reboot. To load it now, run "modprobe -r k10temp && modprobe zenpower" as root'

tested on linux-zen:
Code: [Select]
xxx@picasso ~]$ lsmod | grep zenpower
zenpower               16384  0

ive tried all 3 of them

ive already blacklisted k10temp, so sudo modprobe zenpowr should be all I need, but its giving me that error everytime. how can I confirm the module i actually being built? Im admittedly still rather new to linux (around a month) and am still doing a lot of copy and pasting lol.

Run on your terminal (might take a while, since that folder has a lot of things).

Code: [Select]
find "/lib/modules/$(uname -r)" -name 'zenpower.ko*'

If you get no output, then the module really wasn't built.

If I had to guess, I think you're missing the linux-headers package (which is needed for Dkms modules to build). Then reinstall the dkms packages. as alium said, you've already ruled this out

sorry, i don't use pamac, just try install zenpower as you know and put here the output...

it should be probably pamac install zenpower-dkms

AFAIK for AUR packages the command is pamac build zenpower-dkms.

Either way, can you show us the output of one of these commands?
