[13:53] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[17:44] <BluesKaj> BBL...
[19:48] <mspencer> Hi, I'm trying to install the VMware guest additions, but it says it can't find my kernel headers. What package do I need? I've installed linux-headers-generic.
[19:49] <mspencer> My VM is 12.10 x86 upgraded to 13.04 by replacing quantal with raring in the /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:00] <bjsnider> mspencer, linux-headers-generic will pull in the headers package for your kernel
[20:01] <bjsnider> mspencer, the actual files will be in /usr/src/linux-headers-x.x.x-xx-generic
[20:04] <bjsnider> mspencer, check the actual version against uname -r to make sure
[20:06] <mspencer> bjsnider: I changed what the setup script had to the path you gave and it still says that it is an invalid path.
[20:06] <bjsnider> yeah but check the path yourself
[20:07] <bjsnider> the x's are placeholders for the version numbers
[20:07] <mspencer> bjsnider: I did replace the X's and made sure that the path exists. It is the right path for the headers vmware is asking for.
[20:08] <bjsnider> well, that's not an ubuntu problem
[20:08] <bjsnider> you might want to talk to a vmware expert
[20:08] <bjsnider> or just google it
[20:08] <mspencer> bjsnider: okay, thanks.
[20:08] <bekks> All thats needed for vmware at that point are the headers for the currently running kernel version.
[20:08] <bjsnider> he has them
[20:09] <bjsnider> if he has linux-headers-generic he has them automatically
