kernel-modules-hook VS pacui

I have the opposite feeling. Upgrading kernel requires rebooting, or kernel modules is unable to work. That's annoying. Currently I use kernel-modules-hook to prevent rebooting on Arch.

You can use this pacman hook so that old modules survive a kernel update https://github.com/saber-nyan/kernel-modules-hook

It’s a good idea to reboot ASAP after installing a kernel update anyway, but to keep things running smoothly in the meantime, I recommend installing the kernel-modules-hook package and enabling its systemd service, which keeps the current kernel’s modules available until after the next reboot. (Details here.)

Use https://github.com/saber-nyan/kernel-modules-hook to fix this. It only happens because the package manager completely removes the modules for the current kernel from the filesystem, so you can't load them anymore.

In regards to the “Core parts of the system have been upgraded, a reboot is recommended” notifications, those don’t really mean you need to reboot then. Sometimes I go through two or three minor kernel updates before rebooting my machine. You will rarely encounter things that break without a restart after “core component” updates, and if you install kernel-modules-hook from the repos, the amount of issues you’ll run into after updating will be close to zero. I’ve only encountered this kind of issue once with that package installed, and without it it’s fine too, you’ll just have to reboot if you want to do something like modprobe after a kernel update.

FWIW, kernel-modules-hook is really slow because it depends on rsync, and it rsyncs everytime the hook is fired. https://github.com/saber-nyan/kernel-modules-hook/issues/14 https://github.com/saber-nyan/kernel-modules-hook/pull/15

Thanks for this! I'll switch from kernel-modules-hook and see how it goes.

If you're talking about kernel-modules-hook, haven't you enabled the systemd service to cleanup the old modules as mentioned in the GitHub repo's README?

pacui might be the closest attempt at something like nala, but it's not that great.. https://github.com/excalibur1234/pacui

I’ve been using pacui. It’s also a similar thing but supports Yay/Pikaur/Aurman/Pakku/Trizen/Paru/Pacaur/

hy, i really like using tui programs as they are very fast and cool i have switched to linux a couple of months ago and i really really like bash scripting and terminal stuff many time i wanna make some tui like ranger , ytfzf , Pacui , spotui but i dont know how to make these tuis and integrate them in to my bash scripts i have heard of some libraries like ncurses but dont know much about it another one npyscreen that is in python but i don't know who i can integrate bash into it , if you guide me to some useful thing i will try to contribute some good application that can be useful for others , thanks !
