Hi there,
I’m using Tumbleweed with GNOME on my MSI laptop.
I usually install mcontrolcenter, but I see this time that msi-ec is absent from the kernel.
And while we can still install it, it’s impossible to do it on kernel-longterm since I have an unclear “Error 2” when using “make”. Anything we can do about it?
Better is:
where do you get the sources?
and
post the complete Installation from Terminal here in Code-Tags.
Here GitHub - BeardOverflow/msi-ec
~/msi-ec> make

LANG=C zypper se -si kernel gcc
Have you downloaded the zip Version from the git Repo?
@shishimaru kernel module support is there in the default kernel?
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep MSI_EC
CONFIG_MSI_EC=m
Did you try modprobing?
Yep, seems that the module is correctly present in the default kernel.
For longterm instead:
~> zcat /proc/config.gz | grep MSI_EC
CONFIG_MSI_EC=m
~> sudo modprobe msi-ec/
[sudo] password di root:
modprobe: FATAL: Module msi-ec/ not found in directory /usr/lib/modules/6.12.25-1-longterm

Meh, definitely not worth it. If no one has any idea, I’ll just move to default. Longterm isn’t that ideal in not-default cases. Three days of troubleshooting is abundantly enough, thanks everyone for the efforts.
As @ malcolmlewis said, it’s there:

This is your problem…
Also this is the old Kernel…
Doesn’t change anything in the newest LTS kernel.
msi_ec might be installed but, as you can see, it’s not working with LTS. I’ll just stick with default kernel where I don’t need to install anything.
I have no idea about the OP’s problem, but this listing in post #7 shows that the standard OSS repo is two times active in the repo list. This is of course something that should be repaired. But I am always suspicious when I see such things. Does this mean that the repository management of the OP is “sloppy” and that thus a further investigation of it might be useful?
