driver installation

Dear support,

currently I am trying to install the USB driver v 8.3.1 on a Dell Latop running Ubuntu 15.04 (Kernel 3.19.0-82-generic). The compilation itself and installation worked without problems. However, the kernel module is not loaded as it should be:

When I attach the PCAN-USB to the laptop, dmesg shows succesful detection of the adapter, but the pcan driver does not start configuring the it as a CAN interface.
lsmod shows, that the PCAN kernel module (pcan) is not loaded.
I tried to load the module manually (sudo modprobe pcan) and it returns the following:

Code: Select all

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'pcan': Required key not available
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:960 command_do() Error running install command for pcan
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'pcan': Operation not permitted
Furthermore, lspcan tells met the following:

Code: Select all

lspcan can't run over versions of pcan driver less than 8.x
I tried the same installation process on a Virtual Machine running Ubuntu 15.04 (with a slightly different Kernel 3.19.0-15-generic) with success. (I still have problems sending data, but that is another topic)

I really appreciate any help!

Regards,
Michael

Hi,

You're certainly booting your laptop with SecureBoot=On. Since we cannot sign the module for your kernel, try first to turn off SecureBoot in your BIOS.
