modprobe: can't load module fuse: unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter

[lavish apex]

Hello people. I am trying to mount the Windows partition to support dual boot, so I installed ntfs-3g and enabled fuse in my kernel at File systems -> FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support to build as a module. But when running mount it gives me an error and asks to modprobe fuse, so I do, and it returns: modprobe: can't load module fuse: unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter and this errors on dmesg that I show in the picture. After that I tried embedding fuse in the kernel, but it still is unable to mount (see second picture), and running mount without -t says: mount: mounting /dev/sda5 on /win failed: Invalid argument

[wary flint]

So

Are you POSITIVE you are currently booting with the kernel that has fuse built in?

Second

If you are sure

Make sure eselect kernel

Points to your kernel

Then re merge fuse

[wary flint]

Also actually follow the directions in the second picture lol

I’m like 99% sure the issue is that you are not booted into the kernel that you think you are

The version mismatch also means that the module for fuse is built for a different kernel than the one running

[lavish apex]

Oh. I think I'm not booting on that hahah i have to rename the kernel files. I forgot
I'll do that tomorrow. I just turned off the computer

[wary wing]

relying entirely on or using ntfs-3g to mount an ntfs filesystem is no longer necessary for several years

the kernel provides ntfs3 filesystem driver support

the userland tools provided by ntfs-3g can still be useful however the filesystem type for a kernel supported ntfs partition mount should be ntfs3

[lavish apex]

It still doesn't mount, but doesn't give any errors about fuse

[lavish apex]

I didn't understand a word you said

Oh it mounted

Wait

[wary flint]

Bro

The error

Tells you what to do

[wary flint]

Read
Only

[wary wing]

mount -t ntfs3 /dev/sda5 /win

just avoid ntfs-3g using as the filesystemn type

[lavish apex]

But I can't. How can i boot into Windows if I'm trying to mount the partition to boot into Windows

[lavish apex]

Cool

[wary wing]

ntfs-3g filesystem type mount is depreciated

[wary flint]

Why do you need to mount this to boot into windows

[lavish apex]

To rerun grub-mkconfig to make it accessable to boot

[lavish apex]

Nice to know

[lavish apex]

That doesn't run

[wary flint]

Why would you need to mount it to do that

[wary flint]

You didn’t build it into your kernel lol

[lavish apex]

Maybe i need to enable ntfs filesystem on kernel?

[lavish apex]

I guessed so

[lavish apex]

How can i boot into windows if grub doesn't identify it?

[wary flint]

Did you use os-prober

[wary wing]

did you make a custom kernel? ntfs3 filesystem is supported by the distro kernels

[lavish apex]

The partition needs to be mounted in order to identify windows

[lavish apex]

Yes it is a custom kernel

[wary wing]

there you go

[wary flint]

Are you sure?????

[wary wing]

the fuse errors were an obvious clue for a veteran :)

[lavish apex]

Yes

[wary flint]

Well as long as it only needs to read windows, it should work

As is

[lavish apex]

🤷 what's the difference from the last two options?

[wary wing]

if your custom kernel disabled partition type supports you'll have similar complcations

[wary flint]

Press ? Over them

[lavish apex]

That's not a big problem

[wary wing]

one of them is the very old read only ntfs driver

[lavish apex]

Whatever i choose it's gonna select both

[wary wing]

the read/write driver name is ntfs3

you wont need both

[lavish apex]

It activates both automatically once i select one

[wary wing]

also if by some chance you decided to not use any <M> module configratiuosn that kenrel build may malfunction

ot would be more likely to

[lavish apex]

Hmm, is there any reason?

[wary wing]

booting a fully non modular kernel is akin to tube feeding an infant everything at kernel init 😅

[wary flint]

Kernels are black arcane magic

I do not question them

[lavish apex]

Ohh i see. Interesting

[wary flint]

I fear them

[lavish apex]

Same

[lavish apex]

Do i need to activate any of the 3 options that opened?

[wary wing]

exfat support as a module also could be useful

there's another subsection with partition type support features you need some of

if your curious and wanted to study some of my older custom configs you can find several here

https://github.com/xartin/config-notes/tree/main/kernel-configs

no modules means everything loads at kernel init and occupies a memory address whether or not that feature is used or useful

thats not really ideal

[wary flint]

I paid for the ram I’m going to use the whole ram

[lavish apex]

That works now but not when i put in fstab

[lavish apex]

I need ram to run femboy porn in full hd

[wary wing]

not so much about not having enough ram

more of a memory address conflict concern

[lavish apex]

Oh ntfs3, not ntfs in partition type

Now os prober is active and it is not identifying windows

[wary wing]

custom kernel grief :)

[wary flint]

Never put something like this in my notifications again.

[wary wing]

if you want some sombering perspective about your kernel config vs. the dist-kernel create a diff of both configs then read the resulting text file.

helped someone do that last year and they were missing 30k lines or something of similar significance

[lavish apex]

Thx. I'll take a look at that later

[wary wing]

keep in mind that everything included in a kernel config file may not be every available kernel selection that could be used or configured. kernel kconfig covets many secrets until related features are available config selections

depmod can be your best friend or your worst nightmare ;p

[wary flint]

At that point just use gentoo kernel bin?

[wary wing]

at least very valuable reference

[lavish apex]

I can't

[wary flint]

Why

[lavish apex]

Because I'm not lazy

[wary flint]

Sigh

[wary flint]

^

Do you or do you not want a working system

[lavish apex]

My kernel works >:(
I managed to dualboot

[lavish apex]

I manually edited /etc/grub.d/40_custom I think
