No /dev/pcan0

Post by vadbut » Sat 25. Feb 2017, 02:25

Hi,

My pcan usb pro doesn't appear in the devices. It appears in /var/log/dmesg and I'm able to play around with it using linux commands, but all provided c++ examples fail because there are no devices assigned.

I saw a post on the same problem and I tried the recommendation: sudo pcan_make_devices 2
but the result was: Info: Please do first a "modprobe pcan.o or modprobe pcan.ko .. (depends on kernel version)"
Neither of modprobe pcan.o or modprobe pcan.ko can be executed: Module pcan.o not found

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 with 4.4.0-62-generic

Let me know what the problem is.

Thanks

I found the problem: UEFI Secure Boot was enabled. After disabling it modpobe pcan started working properly.
