Can install applespi v0.1

Open HassanDuhaini opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

I get this error when running the installation command:

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

Building module: cleaning build area... make -j8 KERNELRELEASE=5.4.0-050400-lowlatency...(bad exit status: 2) ERROR (dkms apport): binary package for applespi: 0.1 not found Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.4.0-050400-lowlatency (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/applespi/0.1/build/make.log for more information.

I am running Ubuntu 18 on Macbook pro 15in 2017 model.

As of kernel 5.3 this module is already included so you might not need to build it yourself at all - see if CONFIG_KEYBOARD_APPLESPI is enabled in your /boot/config-... .

If it's not enabled, then please get the latest driver from https://github.com/roadrunner2/macbook12-spi-driver/ as this repo here is somewhat out of date.

Just a side note: while applespi has been included to Linux 5.3, the touch bar driver wasn't.. so we still need to compile the driver from https://github.com/roadrunner2/macbook12-spi-driver/ repo.
