Package: tp-smapi-dkms
Version: 0.41-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Installing tp-smapi-dkms on a freshly installed Debian 7 wheezy.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I did not install linux-headers before installing tp-smapi-dkms.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The hdaps module was not loading with the following error message:
hdaps: supported laptop not found!
hdaps: driver init failed (ret=-19)!
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected the module to load.
Then I found a hint on ThinkWiki:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi#Installation_on_Debian
> If installation seems ineffective, confirm you have the linux-headers of your
kernel installed, purge tp-smapi-dkms and reinstall.
That solved the problem. So I would suggest to add linux-headers as dependency
of the tp-smapi-dkms package.
Since the error message is a little bit misleading, this could solve some
reported problems of other people saying, "doesn't work / please support my
laptop'.
Thanks for reading my report. :-)
