[SOLVED] Starting kmod fails with an error

[ineuw]

After going through the process of setting up the temperature sensors, using "sudo sensors-detect" as outlined https://askubuntu.com/questions/15832/h ... emperature and restarted the desktop, I got the following error.

ineuw@desktop32 ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/kmod start
[....] Starting kmod (via systemctl): kmod.serviceJob for systemd-modules-load.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
failed!

Then I got,

ineuw@desktop32 ~ $ systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service

On a completely non-Mint system, with no systemd, you have to start the service-things manually and it just works...
mute@devuan:~$ cd /etc/init.d
mute@devuan:/etc/init.d$ sudo ./kmod start
[info] Loading kernel module lp.
[info] Loading kernel module ppdev.

I don't get the error you get... Failed to insert 'w83627ehf': Device or resource busy ...which might hint at the problem... what module is your code asking for that a plain-vanilla Linux doesn't need?

Mute Ant, thanks for the reply, and please don't waste your time with this. Ended up installing xsensors and got what I wanted, a GUI app to monitor the temp. What you see was the end of a series of errors that cropped up while trying out various apps.
