NI-KAL Fails to Install on Linux Kernel 5.13 or Later with Fatal ErrorWhen installing certain NI drivers onto a Linux system using kernel version 5.13 or later, the installation fails at the NI-KAL component with the following error: /var/lib/dkms/nikal/21.5.0f129/build/nikal.c:32:16: fatal error: config/modversions.h: No such file or directory As of the 2022Q4 release, this affects the following driver that depends on KAL: NI-Serial Workaround: Reattempt the installation after adding modversions.h to the kernel headers for your current system kernel. For example: sudo touch /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/config/modversions.h [on Ubuntu] sudo touch /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)/include/config/modversions.h [on RHEL] sudo touch /usr/src/linux-$(uname -r | sed -r 's/-default//')-obj/x86_64/default/include/config/modversions.h [on OpenSUSE] |

NI driver software fails to install on RHEL9 because of missing /sbin/chkconfigWhen I try to install an NI driver on RHEL9, it fails with an error message indicating that chkconfig is missing. Many NI drivers use chkconfig in initialization of their services and will fail installation if it is not present. It was present in the base images of previous RHEL versions, but as of RHEL9 needs to be installed prior to NI drivers. The latest releases of most NI drivers will automatically install chkconfig on RHEL 9, however there are still a few that don't automatically install it. And none of the older NI driver versions prior to 2022Q4 automatically install it. Installing chkconfig will fix this issue. However there is a chance that chkconfig may not install successfully on RHEL9 (for several reasons) see "Chkconfig fails to install on RHEL9" for workarounds if installing chkconfig fails.
Workaround: To explicitly avoid this issue, install chkconfig (which is in one of the RHEL9 default repositories) by running prior to installing NI software on RHEL9.

Chkconfig fails to install on RHEL9When running an NI installer on RHEL9, I get an error message which says "Failed:
chkconfig-1.20-2.el9.x86_64 Error: Transaction failed" This may occur because of this known issue with chkconfig: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1728139 which could be encountered by anyone trying to install chkconfig who has already run into "NI driver software fails to install on RHEL9 because of missing /sbin/chkconfig". Workaround: 1. Backup the /etc/init.d folder to somewhere 2. Install chkconfig 3. Restore the backup |

NI driver software fails to install on OpenSUSE 15.3+ because of missing /sbin/insservWhen I try to install an NI driver on OpenSUSE 15.3 or 15.4, it fails with an error message indicating that insserv is missing. Many NI drivers use insserv in initialization of their services and will fail installation if it is not present. It was present in the base images of previous OpenSUSE versions, but as of OpenSUSE Leap 15.3 needs to be installed prior to NI drivers. The latest releases of most NI drivers will automatically install insserv on OpenSUSE, however there are still a few that don't automatically install it. And none of the older NI driver versions prior to 2022Q4 automatically install it. Installing insserv will fix this issue.
Workaround: To explicitly avoid this issue, install chkconfig (which is in one of the RHEL9 default repositories) by running prior to installing NI software on OpenSUSE.
