Hi Folks,

I am trying to install an USB Bluetooth adapter.

I have the drivers provided with the device but I do not know how to install this rtk_btusb module which is not found as you can see bellow:

On other Distros the adapter installed flawless.

Thanks!

P.S. I apologize, I forgot to mention, this is Salix

You need to install the kernel-source package.

[bradnag]

I installed the kernel-source package and rebooted. Trying to install de drivers again and I got the same "btusb not loaded". Tried to load manual:

Code: Select all

modprobe btusb
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'btusb': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Code: Select all

root@toshiba//home/brad/Downloads/20201202_LINUX_BT_DRIVER# modprobe -vv btusb
modprobe: INFO: custom logging function 0x40c270 registered
insmod /lib/modules/5.15.161/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.ko reset=1

What is this driver and where are you getting it from?

Which kernel packages do you have installed? Run

Code: Select all

ls /var/log/packages/kernel*

and post the output here.

[bradnag]

both windows and linux drivers came with the adapter (20201202_LINUX_BT_DRIVER).
kernel 5.15.161

Code: Select all

ls /var/log/packages/kernel*

Is there anywhere I can download that driver and try it?

What happens if you run

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe btusb

?

[bradnag]

I will be back Monday and continue.
I will let you know about downloading. https://www.xmpow.com/en-ca/products/m ... B-HAPnqc7B

Yes, I did that before and this is the output:

Code: Select all

root@toshiba//home/brad/Downloads/20201202_LINUX_BT_DRIVER# modprobe -vv btusb
modprobe: INFO: custom logging function 0x40c270 registered
insmod /lib/modules/5.15.161/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.ko reset=1

I suggest you reinstall the kernel-modules package and reboot. Then try loading the btusb module again. I'm guessing that the make install you ran replaced it.

[bradnag]

what about this below:

Code: Select all

mv /lib/modules/5.15.161/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.ko /lib/modules/5.15.161/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/btusb_bak
mv: cannot stat '/lib/modules/5.15.161/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.ko': No such file or directory

I can confirm /lib/modules/5.15.161/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/btusb_bak is there

and I supposed btusb.ko was renamed to btusb.bak.

[gapan]

Did you run that yourself or is it in the Makefile?

In any case, delete it, reinstall the kernel-modules package and see if you can load it with modprobe.
