next step:

sudo make install

sudo modprobe pcan

if I ask for outputs, and you don´t send them completly, and later you write to me that you did it already three times, I think it is time to not answer anymore to your problem, until you change your behaviour....

think about it, before asking for free support for a third party application....

Sorry if I have been rough. I just felt you were asking me the same thing for a while and like not reading. I am sorry anyway.

Well, as information, I solved the problem! So, the modprobe did not accept the pcan operation because the Secure boot system does not give it the right permissions. In order to let the modprobe finish the driver installation, you have to disable the Secure boot from your computer. The solution was taken from here https://github.com/openrazer/openrazer/issues/677

Finally what I did was:
1. restart my pc from the boot set up
2. change the Secure boot option to disable
3. Go to linux again
4. make clean -> make -> sudo make install -> sudo modprobe pcan

So the output to cat /proc/pcan is now

Thank you for your time and your support! I will ask again if I have more questions.

Kind regards,

I too had similar issue of modprobe not finding pcan device. After disabling secure boot it worked for me..
PCAN device was getting detected till i restarted my Ubuntu system. Once i restarted it is again not working.
when i do
sudo modprobe pcan

i get the below errors...

Code: Select all

modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:832 kmod_module_insert_module() could not find module by name='pcan'

modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:977 command_do() Error running install command for pcan

i run lsusb, i could see

If i reinstall the driver it might start working.. But then i need to know that , do i have to reinstall everytime i restart the system

[M.Maidhof]

Hi,

you have to build and install the pcan driver with each kernel update. If you use the kernel integrated SocketCAN driver instead, you don't have to rebuild the driver with each kernel update.

So if you want to use SocketCAN, simply uninstall our pcan driver again and reboot your system once, to have the kernel driver active again.

regards

Michael
