From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

System76 DKMS Drivers for Silverblue (lemmy.ml)

submitted 6 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I need some help figuring out how to install all the DKMS drivers, and firmware manager, firmware daemon, etc on Silverblue.

It's easy on Fedora but I haven't found a single instance explaining how to do it in a Fedora atomic distro.

These are the instructions for Fedora.

rpm-ostree currently does not support DKMS, and it's unlikely that'll be implemented anytime soon, if ever. It does support akmods, though, which is the preferred way to build Kernel modules on Fedora. You could ask if the packager can build that way to support the Fedora Atomic editions.

If you need these Kernel modules now, I think your only option would be to build manually from source, but that has the downside of requiring a manual step every time the Kernel is updated.

Edit: there are a few issue reports already: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-dkms/issues/58 https://github.com/pop-os/system76-acpi-dkms/issues/16

Awesome. This gives me a great starting point. Thanks so much.

And then such an AKMOD would be a good candidate for ublue hardware enablement

Sweet, now I feel even more ignorant, lol.

Nothing like that understanding to take the first steps to remove ignorance. Thank you very much.
