View 9 RepliesIs there a way to get the matching Linux kernel headers automatic on a regular kernel update via the Ubuntu packed manager? Every time I get a new kernel I must do an aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r`

A recent kernel update seems to have misplaced the Kernel Headers. VMWare needs these headers and cannot find them. Attempting to run VMWARE gets the message: Kernel headers for version 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop were not found.

The problem:-
I'm trying to run vmware workstation and I get a desktop box pop up which says "Kernel .heade4s for version 2.6.37.1-1.2 desktop not found"
How do I find them and install please.
Can anyone point me to a source for linux-kernel-headers. for kernel 2.6.34-12
I can't find it in the normal repositories and need it for installing vmware 6.0.4
I have installed OpenSUSE 11.3 64 bit and want to install VMWare workstation 7.1. I have run the install script for VMWare without any issues. When I start the VMWare Workstation I get a window saying this: Before you can run VMWare, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel. Kernel Headers 2.6.34-12-desktop Kernel headers for version 2.6.34-12-desktop were not found.
View 9 Replies View RelatedYesterday, I think I did something stupid: I removed kernel-headers, gcc, glibc-devel and glibc-headers. My box is a CentOS 5.4 webserver (it has loads of packages installed, but that was done through Virtualmin config, so it's quite coherent all in all). The thing is that now I need to reinstall at least the headers and glibc, but hey! this is what I get :

Code:
I would have thought that removing a given kernel package would trigger the removal of the older kernel headers. Can someone confirm that is, or is not, the behavior? I ask this because it seemed to me that the older kernel header packages were indeed removed when I removed some older kernel packages.
For example, the linux kernels I have installed are:
Code:
Also, the linux-headers packages I have installed are:
Code:
So, when I get around to removing the linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 package like this:
Code:
I would expect apt-get to automatically also remove linux-headers-2.6.25-2-amd64 and linux-headers-2.6.25-2-common. Is that what will happen, or do I need to explicitly state all three packages on the apt-get remove command?
I'm attempting to install the driver for my atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet adapter (in my Lenovo laptop) on my newly installed RHEL5 system (it's not currently being recognized).
I tried using: 'make install' but hit an error "Makefile:61: *** Linux kernel source not found."
After this, I tried: 'sudo yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers'
To rectify this, but hit this error "No package kernel-devel available" (and the same for the headers). What should I do?
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??
What's the command for installing kernel headers for the currently installed kernel?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Opensuse 11.2 on an HP Pavilion laptop. The internal wireless (Broadcom device) quit on me - It is no longer detected at boot so I assume it is dead. No problem since I have a D_Link USB adaptor (DWL-G132). To get it working however I need ndiswrapper. I then installed ndiswrapper 1.55 and the user interface supplied with Opensuse. Problem1- The interface says "The program 'kernel-headers' is missing on your system".
I have checked with Yast and the kernel-headers are installed. Problem2- I have downloaded ndiswrapper 1.55 from Sourceforge.net to attempt the traditional installation method. The 'make' command returns the following message: "Cannot find kernel version in /lib/modules/2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop/build, is it configured?."
I need to install VMWare Workstation on Fedora 13, but I keep running into the following error -
"C header files matching your running kernel were not found...."
It's looking for 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686 but when I did a - yum install kernel-devel I got 2.6.33.5-124.fc13.i686
when I do - yum install kernel-devel `uname -r`
I get the following -
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit

I am fairly new to Linux. My machine is running Debian 5.0.5 with gcc version 4.3. When I try to install the Nvidia QuadroFX 3450 driver I got from the Nvidia web site I get an error saying:
"The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc 4.1) does not exactly match the current compiler (gcc 4.3)....."
Does this mean my gcc version is too new for the driver? if so, how do I roll back to a older version?
I've installed Vmware Workstation and tried to run it only to have the following appear;
Kernel Headers 2.6.27.25-170.2.72.fc10.i586
Kernel headers for version 2.6.27.25-170.2.72.fc10.i586 were not found. If you installed them in a non-default path you can specify the path below etc.......
I've tried to search and find the kernel headers but can't find them.
Does anyone know the kernel-headers location, or how to determine that location, in Fedora 13? I'm installing vmware-tools and it's prompting for it. /usr/include/ and /usr/include/linux/ were revealed to have many header files, as shown by doing rpm -ql kernel-headers
However the installer rejected these locations. My only guess as to why is because they're not where the currently-running kernel has them. I also tried /usr/src/kernels/(kernelversion).fc13.i686/include/ with no luck...
I've upgrade the kernel from '2.6.18-128.el5' to '2.6.18-128.1.10.el5':
yum install kernel
yum install kernel-devel
yum install kernel-headers
yum install kernel-doc
But the system run into problem with WLAN, and I've search in this site and sombody posted in here: [URL] It's almost the same, the different is the card I use is TP-LINK. Then I decided to remove the newly installed kernel:
[Code]...
I have two table files with x (1st column) ,y (2nd column) coordinates and intensity (3rd column). I need to match these two tables and divide the intensities at the consecutive coordinates on the 3rd column. The problem is the size of the tables are not same and I want to ignore the lines if they are not in one of the other file.
Here is Table 1:
Code:
-7.500-30.00013.006
-7.500-22.50037.952
-7.500-15.00060.962
-7.500-7.50040.922
-7.5000.00014.348

I'm trying to install vmware server 2 on my lenny and first I must install the kernel headers but I'm having troubels with it.
apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.28.9
I have even tried with apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.28.9 but same thing Searching apt-cache search linux-headers-2.6.28.9 shows nothing.
Where do I obtain this? I have the i586 kernel and I need the i686 kernel to run VMware. I beleive this may be the pottential reason virtualbox wasn't working too.
View 13 Replies View Relatedwhere you only get offered the kernel-headers for 2.6.35.11-83 by yum but not the kernel or the kernel-devel? I tried yum clean all and both pointing to the baseurl and mirrorlist and it does the same thing for both. Oddly my other laptop with F14 in the wireless cafe showed all three packages were available.

So, following the instructions in "How to Customise the Ubuntu Desktop CD", I chrooted to the squashfs and ran "apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade", expecting apt-get to upgrade the chroot kernel... only to find out that apparently, even when being chrooted, this command upgrades the actual kernel. I guess it makes sense, but I was under the - wrong - impression that chroot would build a filesystem totally isolated from the underneath host.
So I rebooted to use this new kernel:
Next, since the Nouveau video driver requires the kernel header files, I ran the following:

I don't understand why apt-get upgrades the kernel but won't install its header files.
Having ubuntu 8.04, when I updated my computer to the latest kernel and headers through Update Manager, an error popped up. The error stated that it wouldn't update at this time. When I tried to download again, the update was gone in Update Manager. I checked and I don't have the most recent kernel installed. I still have 2.6.24-19. Accrding to [URL]the most recent one is: 2.6.27.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI was trying to compile the driver for my wireless device and stumbled upon the 'missing kernel headers' error. Found the kernel header somewhere on the internet, named kernel.lzm. If I boot Backtrack 3 directly from the cd and not installing it, how do I use the kernel header? Do I need to install it, place it somewhere or just load it?
