Unable to locate package kernel-headers-XXX

[Sraddha]

I have faced this problem before. I want to compile a Device driver module
, simple thing as hello world for my kernel. I want to use the headers
instead of downloading t entire source.

I do this sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package kernel-headers-2.6.38-13-generic
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'kernel-headers-2.6.38-13-generic'

How in the world shall I ever get these headers. Regards
Sraddha

Hi!

I'm not familiar with apt package manager, but have you tried linux-headers?

Best wishes,
Vladimir Murzin

Assuming that you are on ubuntu

#apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

You can also use

#apt-cache search linux | grep headers to see what all is available.
