You certainly don't need it three times. You can edit the file and remove the two superfluous entries.

Next, let's check out some things. First, does the module perhaps have dependencies?

Code:

sudo modprobe --show-depends w83627hf

If yes, load them first. If no, try loading the module with verbose mode on to see any messages:

Code:

sudo modprobe -v w83627hf

Any messages? If so, what are they? If not, did it load:

Code:

lsmod | grep w83627hf

If it didn't load, try forcing it:

Code:

sudo modprobe -v -f w83627hf

Check again:

Code:

lsmod | grep w83627hf

Please report back here with your results.

Thanks SteveRiley, I'm at work now. I can work though this when I get home tonight.

**life0riley** · Jan 25, 2014, 01:10 AM

First I edited the file and removed the two extra entries.

Code:

$ cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

loop
lp

# Generated by sensors-detect on Thu Jan 23 22:57:41 2014
# Chip drivers
w83627hf
$

Then I looked for dependancies.

Code:

$ sudo modprobe --show-depends w83627hf
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-58-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/hwmon-vid.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-58-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627hf.ko 
$

Then I used lsmod to see what modules were loaded.

Code:

$ lsmod

I tried loading the module.

Code:

$ sudo modprobe -v w83627hf
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-58-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627hf.ko 
FATAL: Error inserting w83627hf (/lib/modules/3.2.0-58-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627hf.ko): Device or resource busy

The module did not load.

Code:

$ lsmod | grep w83627hf
$

I tried forcing it.

Code:

$ sudo modprobe -v -f w83627hf

**life0riley** · Feb 01, 2014, 09:40 PM

Thanks for the replies SteveRiley and kubicle. You helped lead me to the solution.

Trying to load the module in verbose mode gave me the clue I needed, "Device or resource busy".

I did a little googling and figured out what I needed to do.

I needed to modify /etc/default/grub

I modified this line

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

I added "acpi_enforce_resources=lax"
It now reads

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_enforce_resources=lax quiet splash"

Then I updated GRUB

Code:

$ sudo update-grub

Then I rebooted.

I now get this when I run sensors

Code:

$ sensors

I still have some more work. GPU temperature does not display in conky. I need to install hddtemp. Before I do that I have a new hard drive to install and setup with a samba share.

I'm picking away at this as I have time. My on-call rotation is this weekend so I'm stuck at home. I have to be near an internet connection if I get paged. Not too much is happening this weekend so I had some time to look at this closer.

I found I had to install conky-all to get my Nvidia temps

**life0riley** · Feb 01, 2014, 10:58 PM

Thanks Buddlespit. I have conky-all installed. It don't show thermal sensor info in my NVIDIA X Server Settings.

From what I read the NVIDIA System Management Interface (nvidia-smi) program is provided by nvidia-current. I don't have nvidia-current installed. That package depends on nvidia-304. The video card installed is a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400. The NVIDIA driver version installed is nvidia-96 (96.43.23). I beleive it is a legacy driver and no longer supported.

I installed nvclock
I appears that the NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 video card deos not support temperature monitoring.

Code:

$ nvclock -T
Error: temperature monitoring isn't supported on your videocard.
$

nvclock -i gives me this. This is the closest I get to displaying the info you displayed with nvidia-smi.

Code:

$ nvclock -i

It would be nice display GPU temperature, but it looks like this may not be possible.

The installer of the Server image is indeed excellent! I also allows detailed LUKS setup. Unfortunately currently it only allows to create that encryption setup, but if you try to active an existing one, the installer or partitioner will stall at 73% and fail to continue. It also cannot mount (in the Rescue system that you can select at boot) an encrypted root fs at least not one contained in a LVM. So you have this LVM with one of the volumes used for encryption. You can select the volume itself, but not the mapped encryption device. Hence it will fail to load. This makes it pretty tough to troubleshoot any encryption setup.

But that aside. Marvellous installer.
