Yes,

exactly.

See chapter 3.1 regarding this!

Sorry to bother you, but another problem has risen.
I've followed chapter 3.1 from the User Manual, but I can't seem to get chardev working. I keep getting the same error when running

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe pcan
. See last rows in the log file.

I've uninstalled, made and installed the source again (as seen in the log), but I still have the same output.

What is going wrong? What can I try?

Hello,

Try disabling "Secure-boot" (BIOS) that option will not allow unsigned drivers to be loaded,

check if disabling it fixes that behavior.

Hello,

Yes, we cannot change how Linux handles unsigned drivers unfortunately =/
