CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) — Question 56

A systems administrator needs to install a new piece of hardware that requires a new driver. The driver should be manually installed. Which of the following describes the order of commands required to obtain module information, install the module, and check the log for any errors during module installation?

Answer options

• A. lsmod, modprobe, modinfo
• B. modinfo, insmod, modprobe
• C. modinfo, insmod, dmesg
• D. lsmod, insmod, dmesg

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct sequence is modinfo to gather information about the module, insmod to install the module, and dmesg to check for any errors in the log. Options A and B do not include the necessary commands in the correct order for manual installation, while option D lacks the log checking step after installation.
