http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1184671 Bug ID: 1184671 Summary: openrazer drivers aren't automatically rebuilt for new kernel or their own updates Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: iqgrande@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0 Build Identifier: Greetings: I use some Razer peripherals and, accordingly, have installed some of the Razer tools for configuring them; the list of items I've installed is below. * openrazer-daemon * openrazer-kernel-modules-dkms * openrazer-meta * polychromatic * python3-openrazer I, basically, followed the instructions to install it here: https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=hardware%3Arazer&package... Anyways, when I update my system, things like the kernel are updated but these packages are not. I update my system with the following commands. Code: {{{ sudo zypper refresh && sudo zypper dup && sudo flatpak update }}} I can see it being out of date because my tray applet indicates the daemon is not working properly and through some sleuthing (see below). Code: {{{
uname -a Linux babeltumble 5.11.11-1-default #1 SMP Tue Mar 30 17:57:52 UTC 2021 (dbc4a02) x86_64 x86_64 x86_ 64 GNU/Linux sudo dkms status [sudo] password for root: openrazer-driver, 3.0.0, 5.11.6-1-default, x86_64: installed }}}
The only way I've found to get this to update is to do the following. Code: {{{ sudo dkms remove -m openrazer-driver -v 3.0.0 -k 5.11.6-1-default sudo dkms autoinstall }}} I am new to openSUSE Tumbleweed and absolutely love it. Is this driver something I need to continue manually updating or is there a method for it to automatically update when new kernels are installed? Thank you for any insight you can provide into this. I did a bunch of searches and couldn't find anything to discuss this; I apologize if I missed something. These drivers were updated recently however the new versions were not automatically built against the current kernel. This also shows that the upgrade does not clean up the older version and makes the upgrade more difficult (see below). So, ultimately, I currently have the 5.11.6-1-default kernel built with version 3.0.0 of these drivers, while version 5.11.11-1-default of the kernel and 3.0.1-1.1 of the drivers are actually installed.

Kind regards, Anthony Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openrazer-meta stuff on site given in details. 2. When kernel or drivers are updated (i.e., a newer version is installed), the kernel mod will not be automatically generated with the new items and, as such, the drivers won't be loaded. 3. Actual Results: The kernel modules are not loaded. Expected Results: I would've expected these kernel modules to be updated as both the kernel or the drivers themselves that create them are updated. I am new to openSUSE so I am perhaps missing something in terms of expectations. I think everything is covered in "details". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
