I'm looking for a command to list the installed modules of my kernel.
Do you know what command i could use?
Thank you

lsmod (as root)

The lsmod command will only give you a list of the loaded modules at that time. If you want a list of all the 'installed' modules on your Mandriva system, and their location: As root do

CODE

updatedb

then do

CODE

locate -e ko.gz

As I understand it this would list all modules of all installed kernels. So my suggestion is to check your version in use, then go to the specific directory and list modules:

CODE

uname -a
cd /lib/modules/<kernel-version>
ls -al | more

That's a good point! I always delete my old kernels, but if you didn't that could be a very large list!

Thanks for pointing that out.

However, that command does not enter the directories and list them, or find any modules in /var/lib/dkms.

I will offer a compromise: do

CODE

uname -r

then

CODE

locate -e ko.gz |grep (enter uname -r output here)

replacing (enter uname -r output here) with the real output.

I obviously read the question. Anyway

CODE

locate -e ko.gz | grep `uname -r`

should give the same result I do believe.

That's the best one. You win!

modprobe -l

One small edit.

CODE

/sbin/modprobe -l | less

Now you don't have to be root and you can scroll through them. I like it!

I must really be bored?
