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

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

Code:

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

Code:

apt-get install linux-headers-amd64 linux-headers-4.18.0-kali2-amd64

but its showing below error

Code:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree 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

Code:

apt-get install virtualbox

and also tried

Code:

apt-get install virtualbox virtualbox-dkms

But still getting same error.

I have tried to run this command

Code:

modprobe vboxdrv

and its showing

Code:

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

I have also tried this command

Code:

/dev/vboxdrv setup

and its showing

Code:

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

I have searched for linux headers by using this command

Code:

apt-cache search linux-headers

and its giving me this output

Code:

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

Output of the command uname -a is

Code:

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

Code:

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:

Code:

# # 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 #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 deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib #deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib # This system was installed using small removable media # (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, # see the sources.list(5) manual.

I have also tried to upgrade linux headers and image

Code:

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 ?

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 !!

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 ??

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/k.../main/l/linux/

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

Try this.

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