Installation on Debian 13 (Trixie) #85
Description
When installing realtek-r8125-dkms on a Debian Trixie system, the dkms.service keeps trying to reinstall the r8125 kernel module after each reboot, but it constantly fails because the module is already installed.
The workaround I found for the issue works as follows:
dpkg -i realtek-r8125-dkms_9.016.01-1_amd64.deb
dkms status
realtek-r8125/9.016.01, 6.12.41+deb13-amd64, amd64: installed
dkms uninstall -m realtek-r8125 -v 9.016.01 --all
dkms remove -m realtek-r8125 -v 9.016.01 --all
dkms add realtek-r8125/9.016.01
systemctl restart dkms.service
dkms status
realtek-r8125/9.016.01, 6.12.41+deb13-amd64, x86_64: installed
It appears that in Debian Trixie, dkms uses x86_64 instead of amd64.
Thank you.
