Title: dkms bugaboo
Post by: mrbrklyn on 10 June 2018, 02:30:32
On the upgrades I keep getting this message, which is related to a module I had to download from intel to get work

Code: [Select]
==> dkms install e1000e/3.3.6 -k 4.14.48-1-lts
==> dkms install e1000e/3.3.6 -k 4.16.12-1-ARTIX
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.16.12-1-ARTIX (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/e1000e/3.3.6/build/make.log for more information.
( 6/24) Updating linux-lts initcpios...

can someone point me to docs on how to fix this?

You might have old version of mentioned module.
I found in aur version 3.4.1  and on some intel site version 3.4.0

So check if you can update it, if you cant than post the build log from dkms

I can download it and compile it but getting it to play nice with the packaging system is another problem.

I think for this there is AUR. Are you saying that the package in AUR is broken ?
If so modify it to suit your needs.
Also you should check for new "driver" / module version when you update kernel.

What I am saying is that the one from the intel site was made specifically for me :)  That is why it needs to be compiled as a separate module and loaded with depmod and modprobe

This is automated with dkms if I can get the package manager to work with it.

it doesn't install either.  See the note I left there.
