Are hash mismatches a problem?

[JWarren]

Are hash mismatches a problem? I get these 4 on diagnose and remain after running repair.

I’m not able to replicate this issue but hash mismatches aren’t intended to be able to persist after a repair success. Can you see list what swupd hashdump shows for one of the files before and after repair?

[JWarren]

Like this?

You’ll need to give it the full path to the file.
sudo swupd hashdump /usr/lib/modules/6.10.2-1454.native/modules.alias

[william.douglas]

That is a message you get when you’ve recently updated your partition table of an active partition.

[JWarren]

Interesting. Haven’t messed with the partition table. Been getting that warning since, install.

[william.douglas]

Did you restart your system after the installation?

[JWarren]

Yes.

Also, root has created and delete permission on the folder, 6.10.2-1454.native.

Well that is the wrong hash and consistently so… Very weird.

Could you download the following:
https://download.clearlinux.org/update/42110/files/ec6682a1a43c09b7ec521088c154091bf1f5bacbb7f26f2565aad9841a0d9bf4.tar

Extract it with:
sudo tar xf ec6682a1a43c09b7ec521088c154091bf1f5bacbb7f26f2565aad9841a0d9bf4.tar

and then run:
swupd hashdump ec6682a1a43c09b7ec521088c154091bf1f5bacbb7f26f2565aad9841a0d9bf4

and tell me what you get?

Just jumping in here… this is because DKMS has added new modules and had to run depmod to update these specific files so the new modules will load automatically. Unfortunately swupd can’t really distinguish that case, so it’s just an artifact of using DKMS.

Realtek wifi rtl8811au detected as 8812AU/8821AU Fixed

Great! This is also about the rtl88xxau-dkms. Linux Driver: A driver package called “realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms” is available for Linux systems, which can be installed from Kali’s repository. This driver has been found to be reliable and useful for RTL8811AU-based devices.

External command: run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)
External command: The operation has completed successfully.

As @william.douglas was trying to mention, this is a completely separate issue. If this specifically still happens after a reboot, please open a new thread to discuss it.

[JWarren]

Just to note, on all files root has read/ write permission set.

Roger that. been there since install on July 30, 2024.

Just jumping in here… this is because DKMS has added new modules and had to run depmod to update these specific files so the new modules will load automatically. Unfortunately swupd can’t really distinguish that case, so it’s just an artifact of using DKMS.

So, ignore the mismatch errors?

[btwarden]

@JWarren

So, ignore the mismatch errors?

For those specific files, yes.

[JWarren]

Okay. Started a new thread in regards the partition table warning.

Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table.?

When running a module-repair, I always get this warning and have been getting it since install on July 30, 2024. FYI today is Aug. 2, 2024 Curious if this something that needs to be fixed. It still reappears even after doing a reboot. External command: Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table. External command: The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you External command: run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)
