I am trying to attach a USB device to my Ubuntu 20.04 distribution running under WSL2.

The problem is that when I run the usbip command, it gives the following message:

WARNING: usbipd not found for kernel 5.10.16.3-microsoft



  You may need to install the following packages for this specific kernel:

    linux-tools-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2

    linux-cloud-tools-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2



  You may also want to install one of the following packages to keep up to date:

    linux-tools-standard-WSL2

    linux-cloud-tools-standard-WSL2

I tried doing:

$ sudo apt install linux-tools-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2

... but that doesn't work. It returns the following:

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

E: Unable to locate package linux-tools-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2

E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-tools-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2'

I have been Googling how to install them, but I can't find anything about this.

NOTES:

• Ubuntu installation has been installed around 2 months ago.


• I am using WSL2


• uspip is called by usbipd wsl attach -b 2-2 from PowerShell because I am trying to attach a USB device to Ubuntu


• Kernel version 5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2
