[SOLVED] DIGImend dkms driver install fails

CChromaKee · 2025-09-16 12:28:10

I've been wrestling with this for a good while now, after issues with the official veikk driver I decided to try digimend, however all versions of the package (digimend-drivers-git-dkms, digimend-kernel-drivers-dkms-git, digimend-kernel-drivers-dkms) fail the same way. After looking for solutions the closest I could find was one suggesting to use the AUR package (which I am doing), and another suggesting I downgrade binutils to version 2.36-2, however that answer was from early 2021 and I'm reluctant about downloading a version from so far back.

The error in question:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … ug=1106553

del_timer_sync() has been renamed to timer_delete_sync() in v6.2-rc1
"timers: Rename del_timer_sync() to timer_delete_sync()"
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commi … afee2c7d4f
the backwards compatibility support wrappers have been removed in
v6.15-rc1 "treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()"
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commi … 5ec856c916

=> edit hid-uclogic-core.c:494 accordingly

Turns out my tablet isn't even supported, but for those who might have the same issue, clone the aur package and add this line to the prepare() section in the PKGBUILD, then install with makepkg -si:

sed -i 's/del_timer_sync/timer_shutdown_sync/' hid-uclogic-core.c

Thanks to seth for pointing it out.
