I'm following the instructions on this page so I can submit enough information about my machine to this bug report module.

I'm stuck in running some of the following commands

git clone git://github.com/Lekensteyn/acpi-stuff.git

cd acpi-stuff/acpi_dump_info

make

sudo make load

cat /proc/acpi/dump_info > handles.txt

I cloned the Git repository but I can't run the make command, I'm getting the following error messages:

mg@MG-7520SE:~/workspace/HybridGraphicsCards$ cd acpi-stuff/acpi_dump_info

mg@MG-7520SE:~/workspace/HybridGraphicsCards/acpi-stuff/acpi_dump_info$ make

make -C /lib/modules/3.13.0-27-generic/build M=/home/mg/workspace/HybridGraphicsCards/acpi-stuff/acpi_dump_info modules

make[1]: *** /lib/modules/3.13.0-27-generic/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.

Makefile:9: recipe for target 'default' failed

make: *** [default] Error 2

mg@MG-7520SE:~/workspace/HybridGraphicsCards/acpi-stuff/acpi_dump_info$ sudo make

make: *** [default] Error 2

So after cloning the Git repository, I access the specified directory acpi-stuff/acpi_dump_info and ran make but it didn't work. I tried running it as sudo it still didn't work.

I noticed its complaining because there is not build directory under the /lib/modules/3.13.0-27-generic/ directory. I'm not sure what this is exactly but from the looks of it, the make command needed a compiled version of my kernel but didn't find one. But I know nothing about that anyway.

I tried installing linux headers by running the commands

1. sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.13.0-27-generic


2. sudo apt-get install linux-headers-uname -r`

..but they both failed and had the same output

mg@MG-7520SE:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.13.0-27-generic

Package linux-headers-3.13.0-27-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source



E: Package 'linux-headers-3.13.0-27-generic' has no installation candidate

My system infomration:

mg@MG-7520SE:~$ lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

So what should I do to be able to run the make command successfully under this directory ?
