Debian Installation :: No Installable Kernel Was Found In Defined Apt Sources
Apr 28, 2015
I am currently trying to install Debian 8 "Jessie" AMD64 on a Dell Latitude E7240. I have two 256 GB SSD disks, on the first one I have installed Xubuntu 14.04 successfully. I want to install Debian 8 (XFCE) on the other one.I have tried using Debian-8.0.0-Live-amd64-xfce, Debian-8.0.0-amd64-DVD and Debian-8.0.0-amd64-netinst, all from a USB key (prepared with Unetbootin), but after successfully partitionning SSD disk, the installer raises the following issue:"no install-able kernel was found in the defined apt sources".
I installed the latest kernel liquorix (2.6.35) but when i want to install the Nvidia driver downloaded on the Nvidia website (256.53), i have an error message because Nvidia doesn't found the kernel source tree.
I install linux-image-2.6.35-6.dmz.2-liquorix-686_2.6.35-16_i386.deb, linux-headers-2.6.35-6.dmz.2-liquorix-686_2.6.35-16_i386.deb and build-essential. I don't understand why the installation doesn't works.
I am not new to Debian and used to use commands like "apt-get install <package>", "apt-get update", "apt-get upgrade" and "apt-cache search <string>" regularly. But I never understood those Debian programs and the Debian package system with it's numerous programs and way to install things and work on software and configurations. Now, I just wanted to do something that I thought to be really easy. Get the source of an existing package. And despite spending over 3 hours - including reading the man-pages of commands - I cannot find a way!
I already don't understand why I have two such packages installed. I would like to download the source of my kernel: apt-get source linux-image-2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64. This downloaded linux-2.6_2.6.26-21lenny4.dsc, linux-2.6_2.6.26.orig.tar.gz and linux-2.6_2.6.26-21lenny4.diff.gz
Then, I wanted to patch this - having found no explanation, I did: cd linux patch < ../linux-2.6_2.6.26-21lenny4.diff
That seemed to patch the kernel. But I am not sure - there are new files like this now_ [...] Only in linux-2.6-2.6.26: xenctrl-capabilities.patch Only in linux-2.6-2.6.26: xenctrl.patch Only in linux-2.6-2.6.26: xenctrl-privcmd.patch [...]
So, how can download the complete Debian kernel source? And what do I need to be able to compile it? And - HOW to just list all available sources and search in them?!? I found lots of webpages where tools like "make-kpkg" are used, which I do not understand again. Under SuSE, I could just select the package from a list, say "make oldconfig install modules modules_install" and be ready. Under Debian, I just find no way ...
I followed this doc for the "debian method" for building the kernel: [URL]. I installed the source in /var/tmp/src/linux-2.6-2.6.32 , configured it, and tried make-kpkg modules-image. The error I get is:
checking for current directory... /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver checking cross compile... checking for directory with ALSA kernel sources... ../alsa-kmirror checking for directory with kernel top-level makefile... /var/tmp/src/linux-2.6-2.6.32 checking for directory with kernel headers... failed make[2]: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver' make[1]: *** [kdist_image] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver' Module /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver failed.
I tried some hacks such as setting KBUILD_SRC or ln -s linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64/ /usr/src/linux - but these fail too.
Is it possible to get a package via yum that has the kernel sources? In the "Add/Remove Software" GUI program, I have enabled the "Fedora source" s/w repository. Even then, the only kernel package I can find is the "The Linux Kernel", linux-2.6.27.15-170... which essentially provides only the kernel binaries and headers but not the source.
I'm trying to build the package zaptel on debian, but I'm encountering two errors: 1- When I try to run the "make menuselect" command, I get an error stating that I need ncurses which is missing. I tried to get it installed but didn't get to do it yet. 2- After that, there's the command "make" I think it's to build the package. Yet again this fails, and the error I get is "you do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.26-2-686 kernel installed".
Trying to install VMWare I get the following message:
Really after it VMWare anyway doesn't agree to install. Zypper says that no newer version of gcc is available. So I can't see how I can install VMWare.
I have an assignment as a CS student to code over Ubuntu Kernel but I am surely a beginner. I need to download all the source files of the Ubuntu kernel source code, make some changes then compile and use it as a custom kernel.
Trying to install virtualbox in F12 but fails when recompiling kernel module. Output of vbox-install log is:

I get the following error message trying to install dazuko on xubuntu 10.04: "headers for target kernel version could not be found" But when I run sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r), I get the message that I already installed the headers. My current kernel is 2.6.34-020634-generic
How can I install dazuko withouth having this problem??
I've got the following problem: I just noticed that there were just very few notifications about updating the system (usually there are damn many of them in a week) So I opened the update manager and clicked on "refresh list". The following result popped up: p,li{white-space:pre-wrap;}E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found First I thought, it would be just some kind of server problem, but it didn't stop. The next thing was to research the thread and I even found something. However, the solution suggested didn't work at all. (Things, which might have caused this: I installed the default software center |I'm using Kubuntu, but in this case that fact doesn't matter| and used it. To sum up:
- not able to update the system referring to the launchpad main sources for 11.04 - following error: E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found It would be great if this was a common issue and I've been simply too stupid to find a proper solution. So you could just post the link.
Defining tcsh aliases through a .aliases file has worked perfectly for me for years and years using cygwin and older versions of mandriva. I am encountering very annoying and mysterious problems when attempting to do the same thing with a .aliases file in a fedora 64-bit VM. Strangely, if I define aliases in the file, they won't work, but if I do so on the command line, then they will.
Here's a simple example: Suppose I define an alias for "ls" in the file: alias ls '/bin/ls' Then source the file. This happens: me: ls : Command not found. me: alias ls /bin/ls me: /bin/ls file1 file2 file3 etc. me: unalias ls me: ls file1 file2 file3 etc. me: alias ls '/bin/ls' me: ls file1 file2 file3 etc.
A second example: if I place either of these lines in my .aliases file: alias d '/bin/ls -alF !:1' alias d '/bin/ls -alF !*'and source the alias file, this happens:/ me: d Bad ! arg selector. However, if I define the alias on the command line: / me: alias d '/bin/ls -alF !*'then the alias behaves correctly:/ me: dtotal 376 drwxr-xr-x. 10 r r 4096 Apr 14 16:05 ./ drwxrwxr-x. 6 r r 4096 Feb 21 16:15 ../ drwxr-xr-x. 3 r r 4096 Apr 14 16:05 bin.v2/ -rwxr-xr-x. 1 r r 193872 Apr 14 15:35 bjam* -rw-r--r--. 1 r r 52804 Apr 14 17:20 bjam.my.log drwxr-xr-x. 77 r r 4096 Nov 17 09:49 boost/ -rw-r--r--. 1 r r 989 Nov 17 04:51 boost.css
I am running Jolicloud on my netbook (which I believe is an Ubuntu derivative) and I am tried to enter the getdeb.net sources in so I can install apps from the website through APT but
1) When I entered the sources into sources.list and then the key into Terminal and then went to the site and tried to install an app it didn't work.
2) I deleted the line of code in the sources.list file and when I opened terminal and entered "sudo apt-get update" it showed the list of sources, but on the list were Getdeb.net sources.
My question is how do I delete sources that aren't in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
error found with your "Postfix virtual maps": No "map sources" were found in the Postfix configuration. your system is not ready for use by Virtualmin. how do I set this?
I'm attempting to dual boot my computer with Slackware, Debian and Windows. I've installed Lilo to the mbr from Slackware, i've edited my lilo.conf file so I can boot Debian. When I boot debian though, it says it's boot kernel 2.6.37 which is the slackware kernael it fails to load the modules. I think my problem is in the lilo.conf file in the debian line, "image = /boot/vmlinuz", if I've understood correctly I should put the debian kernals name after that line, I've done as I saw on the internet, but it comes up with, "kernel can not be found" or something similar to that. I think it's looking for it in a slackware directory. Is there a place on the debian dvds (i've all eight) I can get the kernel?
I have installed debian on my dell latitude d630 laptop and am currently making a derivative for others to use. however I can't get the wireless to work. I downloaded it from the broadcom site but it comes as a gzip file instead of a deb file. if I extract the gzip file I don't get any installable (deb) files. I need the wireless to work because now a bridged network from my windows laptop isn't working.
I have installed CentOS 5.4 & am trying to install VirtualBox on it. To install VirtualBox I run the command:
yum localinstall path/Virtualbox.rpm
It runs through the dependency check & says everything is fine. It installs the rpm & then says that compiling of the kernel module failed & that VirtualBox will not start until this is fixed, & that the most like cause is that the kernel sources are not installed.
I have installed the kernel-devel package & have the kernel source tree located at /usr/src/kernel/2.6....
I installed ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop and configured a lot(mainly setup git, heroku, rails etc), installed and setup lot of things on it to suit my needs. Now I want to move this setup to another machine and want to avoid all the setup again. Is there a way I can create an installer out of my existing ubuntu installation/partition which I can reuse for other machines?
When I installed Ubuntu server, I was shown a nice list of services I could add on if required. When I installed Ubuntu through the netboot network installer, I was shown a even bigger list. Now that I have the desktop, how do I see it again? Do they each have a name? I remember seeing LAMP server, DNS server, some cloud hosting services etc ..
I have just installed Wheezy after repartitioning and had to set up my sources list myself as (most of it) was not done for me. I have just added the main official repository,security updates and the multimedia repository. To be honest I'm not sure if any of them are working when I do an update in aptitude, I think the multimedia one might be. The CD ROM isn't even working despite the fact I have done apt-cdrom add.I am getting the following when run aptitude update:
Ign cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot i386 CD Binary-1 20110328-05:16] wheezy InRelease Ign cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot i386 CD Binary-1
This is a problem about linux-kernel-3.16-0-4-amd64 and LVM, I guess. I decided to write this here in case other users who installed their debian system with encryption enabled experience this problem with a recent kernel upgrade.
I use debian jessie. Today I gave the command:
Code: Select allapt-get upgrade
There was a linux-kernel upgrade to 3.16-0-4-amd64 among other packages to be upgraded.
After this upgrade my computer cannot boot anymore.
I get following error:
Code: Select allVolume group "ert-debian-vg" not found. Skipping volume group "ert-debian-vg" Unable to find LVM "volume ert-debian-vg/root" Volume group "ert-debian-vg" not found Skipping volume group "ert-debian-vg" Unable to find LVM "volume ert-debian-vg/swap_1" Please unlock disk sd3_crypt:
And it does not accept my password.
I used rescue environment on debian jessie netinst iso and decrypted the partition and took a backup of my /home. Now I have not much to lose if I reinstall my system but I still want to fix this problem if possible.
I have reinstalled the kernel using debian jessie netinst rescue iso but nothing changed.
I have Timeshift snapshots located at /home/Timeshift but timeshift --rescue command cannot find a backup device, it sees the device as crypted. If I could restore a snapshot it would be very easy to go back in time and get rid of this problem. It would not be a real solution, however.
There is not any old kernel option in GRUB menu. So removing the latest one does not seem as an option.
I'm learning about the system calls in Linux, but I was not able to find the syscall_table.S file in the linux/arch/x86/ directory. Are the sources installed by default in Lenny ? Or do we've to install them manually.
[12:12 PM:/usr/src/linux/arch/x86/kernel]$ ls asm-offsets.s Makefile
These are the only files in the specified directory. I'm using the stock kernel.
I am dealing with some Linux kernel code, which define most its functions with Macros.The trouble I am having is to use those code in user space in Windows.
For example, I have a function defined like this:
#define list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, n, head, member) for (pos = list_entry((head)->next, typeid(*pos), member), n = list_entry(pos->member.next, typeid(*pos), member); &pos->member != (head); pos = n, n = list_entry(n->member.next, typeid(*n), member))
And in user space code, I call it in this way:
list_for_each_entry_safe( pcre_item, tmp, &(((pcre_list_head_t *)(hr.value))->head), list) { // My code to handle each element in the list }
This is working like a charm in Linux, but I got errors in Windows:
It reminds me missing ';' after 'list_for_each_entry_safe( pcre_item, tmp, &(((pcre_list_head_t *)(hr.value))->head), list)'.
Does this kind of linux code not working in Windows at all? (Linux is in GCC C stand and VC is ANSI C) I prefer not to convert them to normal functions but keep it the way if it could be working under windows by some tricks.
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and I'm trying to install Webcamstudio through the Software Center but I get this "There isn't a software package called webcamstudio in your current software sources". How do I add this to my software sources?
I am quite new to centos as I am from a windows back ground and trying to change over. I am trying to install Asterisk on a dell quadcore server running centos. I need to install Dahdi for hardware support but when I try to install it I get the following error You do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 kernel installed I don't have a clue
I have added to Debian Wheezy testing repositories. After a restart there is no desktop anymore just the wallpaper picture is visible but no desktop pop-ups.
When I want to install the desktop through recovery mode, I get an error message that it "can't fetch...repos". How I can repair /etc/apt/sources.list through recovery mode?
