need help getting the module to load on reboot (pop os)

[willbohlke]

I placed the "gcadapter_oc.ko" file in the usr/lib/modules directory, gcadapter-oc.conf file with the text "gcadapter_oc" in the usr/lib/modules-load.d directory, and ran "sudo depmod" in the /modules directory.

it doesnt run automatically on boot. What went wrong here?

You need to place it in the directory for the specific kernel you have installed.

Once you've built the module you can try running this:

sudo mkdir -p "/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra"
sudo cp gcadapter_oc.ko "/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra"
sudo depmod

(I don't use Pop!_OS but it seems like it uses /lib/modules instead of /usr/lib/modules, you can try both if it doesn't work)
