| Logos01 | Alright, since #ubuntu couldn't help me as it was 'too technical' a question... does anyone here know where I'd get the kernel sources package for the 3.5.0rc3 kernel version? I'm trying to install it from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline but my nvidia graphics driver keeps erroring out (dkms) | 20:01 |
|---|---|---|
| hyperair | i don't think getting the kernel sources would help | 20:03 |
| hyperair | dkms is for out-of-tree modules. | 20:03 |
| hyperair | if nvidia's erroring out, that means you'll just have to wait until nvidia updates its kernel module to work with 3.5.0 | 20:03 |
| Logos01 | Yeah, the problem is that it needs the kernel source for it to compile against a specific kernel version if it's not using dkms. | 20:05 |
| Logos01 | That's pretty normal. | 20:05 |
| Logos01 | But I don't *HAVE* that source. | 20:05 |
| Logos01 | So that leads me back to my question. | 20:05 |
| Logos01 | ... really? Nothing? | 20:24 |
| dileks | Logos01: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19jUboon5gI | 20:38 |
| Logos01 | And how. | 20:39 |
| Logos01 | But that doesn't help me now. | 20:39 |
| hyperair | Logos01: use the headers as the source. | 20:40 |
| Logos01 | hyperair: I already have the headers package installed. | 20:40 |
| Logos01 | I need the linux-source package... | 20:40 |
| hyperair | right, just point nvidia at /usr/src/linux-headers-$version/ for the soruce directory. | 20:41 |
| hyperair | and just for the record, if it's failing in dkms with the new kernel, it'll probably fail during manual compilation as well | 20:42 |
| hyperair | unless you're getting a new nvidia release | 20:42 |
| Logos01 | Yeah, see, that's the problem here. It's failing because it can't find the source, or so claims the dpkg -i linux-*.deb I'm running after having pulled the 3.5.0 *.debs down to my working dir. | 20:43 |
