Unable to locate package linux-headers-4.18.0-kali2-amd64

[NomanProdhan]

Hello there
I have just installed VirtualBox on may Kali Linux machine. After installing it showing below error


The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall virtualbox-dkms package and load the kernel module by executing

'modprobe vboxdrv'

as root.

where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT



I have tried to install linux-headers by using
apt-get install linux-headers-amd64 linux-headers-4.18.0-kali2-amd64 but its showing below error

Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-4.18.0-kali2-amd64
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-4.18.0-kali2-amd64'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-4.18.0-kali2-amd64'


I have removed virtualbox and tried to install it with command

apt-get install virtualbox and also tried

apt-get install virtualbox virtualbox-dkms

But still getting same error.

I have tried to run this command

modprobe vboxdrv
and its showing

modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/4.18.0-kali2-amd64


I have also tried this command

/dev/vboxdrv setup

and its showing

bash: /dev/vboxdrv: No such file or directory

I have searched for linux headers by using this command

apt-cache search linux-headers
and its giving me this output

I couldn't find llinux-header for 4.18.0-kali2-amd64

Output of the command uname -a is

Linux kali 4.18.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.18.10-2kali1 (2018-10-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux


Output of the command grep VERSION /etc/os-release


VERSION="2019.1"
VERSION_ID="2019.1"


I have just installed the linux yesterday and it was 2018.4 and was trying to solve the issue but couldn't And today its showing that its 2019.1 !! Don't know why ?

My /etc/apt/sources.list file content:


#

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2018.4 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20181016-18:11]/ kali-last-snapshot contrib main non-free

# (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom"
# entries were disabled at the end of the installation process.
# For information about how to configure apt package sources,

I have also tried to upgrade linux headers and image

apt-get install linux-headers-4.18.0-kali3-amd64
apt-get install linux-image-4.18.0-kali3-amd64
After doing this I have reboot my system and it was not giving any output so I re install kali linux 2018.4 yesterday.


Nothing is working for me !

Any suggestion ? What should I do now ?

[Mister_X]

apt update && apt dist-upgrade
then reboot

[NomanProdhan]

apt update && apt dist-upgrade
then reboot

Updated :
When I put

deb https://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
in my sources.list file the error doesn't appear. But I am not sure if its good or bad to use https !!

[Mister_X]

it's not bad to use https, it adds another layer of security.

However, when you change sources.list, you need to run "apt update" (to update the list of packages).

Yup, I got that. But the thing is, my system was not working after dist-upgrade. I mean it was not turning on and that is why I have removed the linux-image.
Any other solution ??

[NomanProdhan]

Problem solved.
How ?
I have tried dist-upgrade but it was not working. So I have downloaded and installed linux-headers from here : http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/kali/pool/main/l/linux/

Now everything is working fine :D
Just want to know if its safe to download linux-headers from other source ?

[diegoaymar]

Try this.

apt-get update && apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential
