mspencerHi, 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.19:48
mspencerMy VM is 12.10 x86 upgraded to 13.04 by replacing quantal with raring in the /etc/apt/sources.list19:49
bjsnidermspencer, linux-headers-generic will pull in the headers package for your kernel20:00
bjsnidermspencer, the actual files will be in /usr/src/linux-headers-x.x.x-xx-generic20:01
bjsnidermspencer, check the actual version against uname -r to make sure20:04
mspencerbjsnider: I changed what the setup script had to the path you gave and it still says that it is an invalid path.20:06
bjsnideryeah but check the path yourself20:06
bjsniderthe x's are placeholders for the version numbers20:07
mspencerbjsnider: 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.20:07
bjsniderwell, that's not an ubuntu problem20:08
bjsnideryou might want to talk to a vmware expert20:08
bjsnideror just google it20:08
mspencerbjsnider: okay, thanks.20:08
bekksAll thats needed for vmware at that point are the headers for the currently running kernel version.20:08
bjsniderhe has them20:08
bjsniderif he has linux-headers-generic he has them automatically20:09
