netatop build fails, missing /lib/modules/3.11.6-4-desktop/build

**jlturriff** · 21-Dec-2014, 22:24

I'm running 13.1 x86_64, trying to build netatop. The http://www.atoptool.nl/downloadnetatop.php instructions say that kernel-devel and zlib-devel are requirements, and I have them installed, as well as kernel-desktop-devel; but when I make, I get this error:

Code:

$make
./mkversion
cd module; make
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/leslie/Downloads/Packages/Non-RPMs/Linux/NetATop/netatop-0.4/module'
echo start the make
start the make
make -C /lib/modules/3.11.6-4-desktop/build M=/home/leslie/Downloads/Packages/Non-RPMs/Linux/NetATop/netatop-0.4/module modules

make[1]: *** [netatop.ko] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/leslie/Downloads/Packages/Non-RPMs/Linux/NetATop/netatop-0.4/module'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I ran zypper search to see what provides this, and I get

Code:

$zypper se --provides /lib/modules/3.11.6-4-desktop

but

Code:

$rpm -q kernel-desktop-devel --filesbypkg|grep /lib/modules/3\.11\..*-desktop/
kernel-desktop-devel      /lib/modules/3.11.10-21-desktop/build

kernel-desktop-devel      /lib/modules/3.11.10-25-desktop/source

does not contain this directory. Querying without --filesbypkg shows

Code:

$rpm -q kernel-desktop-devel
kernel-desktop-devel-3.11.10-21.1.x86_64
kernel-desktop-devel-3.11.10-25.1.x86_64

and zypper search --provides tells me

Code:

$zypper se --provides kernel-desktop-devel-3.11.6.4

Is there a way for me to install some backlevel kernel-desktop-devel package to obtain the required directory and its contents?

Hi
More of an issue with the makefiles and where you are and the
kernel-source...

I'm building as a kmp and netatop package for you at the moment,
working fine on openSUSE 13.2. Just need to get a working systemd
service....

Should have something available for you later today for 13.1.

Hi
Once finished building here;
https://build.opensuse.org/package/s...ESTING/netatop

Should be a package here built for the latest 13.1 kernel;
http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...SE_13.1_Update

You need to install the netatop and netatop-kmp-your_flavor (default or desktop) for your kernel, then;

Code:

modprobe netatop
systemctl start netatopd.service
systemctl status netatopd.service
systemctl enable netatopd.service

Both the module will be loaded at boot and the service started...

Wow! Thanks for the quick fix! So, is there in fact anything wrong with the 13.1 kernel-desktop-devel package?

No.
You just seem to have kernel-desktop-3.11.6 installed, but not the matching kernel-desktop-devel-3.11.6.

If you either installed the latter or removed the former, it should probably work.
You can use YaST's "Versions" tab for this, or specify the version to zypper like you did earlier.

But: 3.11.6-4 is _not_ the same as 3.11.6.4 .
Run "zypper se -s kernel-desktop" to see all available versions, for both kernel-desktop and kernel-desktop-devel...

Okay; subtle difference there, 6-4 vs 6.4. :-)

I successfully installed your package for 13.1, but it fails when I try to start it. According to journalctl -xn, netatop is missing; and looking at the list of files in your package, indeed, there is only netatopd there.

I suppose that's a typo in /usr/lib/systemd/system/netatopd.service.
Try to open it in a text editor and change the ExecStart= line to say /usr/sbin/netatopd.
