Missing kernel headers for Odroid U2

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1466 / 1 Year ago, wed, april 26, 2023, 5:00:19

I have an ODroid U2 running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Linux version 3.8.13.30.

I am trying to get my USB WiFi dongle working through this tutorial.

However, at the sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10 stage, I am getting the following error:

Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 3.8.13.30 cannot be found.

Please install the linux-headers-3.8.13.30 package, or use the --kernelsource dir option to tell DKMS where it's located`

So, I did dpkg -l | grep linux-headers to find that linux-headers-3.13.0-51 was installed at /usr/src.

I passed this data to DKMS through the --kernelsourcedir option but got the same error:

I also did apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname-r) but got an Unable to locate package error.

What am I doing wrong/How can I fix this?

I found the correct headers here.

How to add this repository:

sudo -i

cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d

wget https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/sources.lists/meveric-all-main.list

wget -O- http://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/meveric.asc | apt-key add -

exit

sudo apt-get update

You can then use APT to install the headers you need.
