Cannot DKMS Build Drivers - Header Name Mismatch

[shaletome]

The result of uname -r is 4.18.0-kali2-amd64, and apt install linux-headers-`uname -r` does not work ("unable to locate package"), and indeed the only available packages beginning with "linux-headers-" are
linux-headers-4.18.0-kali3-all
linux-headers-4.18.0-kali3-all-amd64
linux-headers-4.18.0-kali3-amd64
linux-headers-4.18.0-kali3-cloud-amd64
linux-headers-4.18.0-kali3-common
linux-headers-4.18.0-kali3-common-rt
linux-headers-4.18.0-kali3-rt-amd64
linux-headers-amd64
linux-headers-cloud-amd64
linux-headers-rt-amd64

(that is the output from pressing tab after apt install linux-headers-). The command cat /etc/apt/sources.list yields
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

I have done apt update, upgrade, full-upgrade, dist-upgrade, as well as rebooted (this is on a live usb with persistence I wrote today), and I still have the same problem. I am trying to build a driver with DKMS, but it does not work because of this name mismatch (uname -r has "kali2" and everything in the repository has "kali3"). What can I do?

You need to update the kernel on the persistence, which isn't easy; kernel isn't updated on persistence. Easiest in your case is to backup your data, download the weekly ISO, redo the persistence and install that driver right away.

download the weekly ISO

Awesome, that worked, thank you!
