How do I install kernel header files?
You should be able to install the kernel header files for the currently running kernel by running the following in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) In general, the kernel header packages are named linux-header-* where «*» indicates the version & variant (generic, server, etc.).
hey thanks but could you tell me what does generic, server, etc means i want to write (kernel driver)
This won’t install the headers for future updates automatically and you’ll have to re-run this command every time. Therefore, it’s recommended to install the metapackage instead, as described in another answer.
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic if you are on a Desktop installation. The apt-get will solve the dependencies and install the correct version of kernel headers.
In Debian Wheezy I get the error message «Package linux-headers-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package. [. ] E: Package ‘linux-headers-generic’ has no installation candidate»
@IQAndreas the linux-headers-generic package is ubuntu specific. On Debian you should use sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
I have linux-headers-generic installed on 18.04 but still don’t have the headers for the newest and current kernel version. Maybe it’s just a bug with this version, I’ve compiled kernel modules in earlier versions so I must’ve had the correct headers back then.
Case of Obsolete kernel package
This should cover another problem when: the currently running kernel is obsolete, meaning it’s not in the repository anymore neither its headers. So the best thing to do is to update the kernel to last version in the repository.
linux-generic is a meta package to keep current version of the kernel & its headers:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install linux-generic Note: Depending on your Ubuntu edition, See if you need linux-lowlatency (Ubuntu Studio), linux-signed-generic or linux-virtual .
