Kernel headers problem

[Philly]

Hey guys,

My problem is when i try to update the kernel headers, i get the following;

root@localhost:~# apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.7-trunk-686-pae
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.7-trunk-686-pae'

anyone have a solution for me?

[g0tmi1k]

Did you do update before?

apt-get update

Also check to make sure your source file is correct:

Kali users should have these entries in their /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

Source: http://docs.kali.org/frequently-asked-questions

[Philly]

Yeah i added a few more update sources, done a apt-get update, fixed the problem.

was tough to find for a must needed fix for Kali.

Hi,

I am Sunny...new to this group
Even i was facing the same issue
Trying to install VMWare on Kali ....it says kernel headers for version 3.7-trunk-686-pae not found....tried a lot to get in and finally found the above mentioned cmd
apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`....................which doesn't fetch expected output

[Philly]

Ive done two installs;

One laptop: i updated only kernel headers, i can log off properly (no blank black screen and i cant do anything)

One computer: updated all updates, inc kernel headers, cant log off properly. i get a black screen, no login line.

Why is the first release of this so buggy & doesn't include sources for kernel updates?

Hi Philly, i had same problem like you but i tried to do what g0tmi1k said and it works..

Did you do update before?

apt-get update

hi g0tmi1k, i tried what you said and it works... Thanks

[Bryan]

I've run across this same issue, however I've followed all the steps listed in this thread, and still receive the same error. I've visted the faq page and added all the deb and deb-src listings, ran the apt-get update, but still can't get guest additions to load correctly.

Any idea?

[lee_can]

I have change the link below with its mirror:
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

so the apt-get update works fine without any problem, but still Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.7-trunk-amd64'

No any moderator for Kali can advise or give us a hint?
This issue should be fixed before anything I think.

Regards

[curemymind]

This is what I've done.

apt-get update
everything updated just fine
apt-get upgrade
everything upgraded
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.7-trunk-686-pae

The source list is fine and does have these two
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
So what I did was search if any was in the cache.
apt-cache search linux-headers
linux-headers-3.12-kalil-484 - Header files for linux 3.12-kalil-486
linux-headers-3.12-kalil686-pae - header files for linux 3.12-kalil-686-pae

linux-headers-amd64 - Header files for linux amd64 configuration (meta-package)
linux-headers-rt-686-pae - Header files for Linux rt-686-pae configuration (meta-package)

Why is it giving me 3.12 when I need 3.7? A bit of help would be awesome.

[haxxley]

I'm getting exactly the same like curemymind ... sources.list is up to date, but I'm still receiving

E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.7-trunk-686-pae
E: Couln't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.7-trunk-686-pae'

very annoying :/ ... free hug for a solution

[maverik35]

I belive they were pulled out of the repos. You might want to upgrade the kernel and then install their headers.

Sorry, I belive there is no 3.7 headers.

[haxxley]

ah ok, thanks for the advice!

i just saw that kali 1.0.6 were recently released and did the following to update :

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

like they mention at the following URL Kali 1.0.6 Released/

I will give it a try!

[lee_can]

I will give it a try!

were you able to upgrade to kali 1.06?

[maverik35]

If you want to upgrade (packages, kernel and drivers), which I strongly belive is the new version, I always do the this in my debian (wheezy backports, testing, sid and kali) computers:

1. aptitude clean (to cleanup all the /var/cache/apt/archives, and avoid some update and gpg KEY problems)
2. Need to have installed in your system:
linux-image-amd64 (for 64bit systems) or the 32-bit image for 32bit systems
linux-headers-amd64 (for 64bit systems or the 32-bit image for 32bit systems)
firmware-linux (for linux free and non-free firmwares to drivers)
This way every aptitude safe-upgrade and full-upgrade will automatically install new kernel if any, new firmwares and new headers according to the new kernel.
3. aptitude safe-upgrade (very important to do this step before any full-upgrade, since this will not remove any package which dependencies are not met by other packages) READ man aptitude.
4. again step 2 in case some package was not safe-upgraded (hardly will happen, but "hardly or 99% is not enough).
5. aptitude full-upgrade (if you are a debianist, you know the dist-upgrade is deprecated but still in use, read the man aptitude).

That's it...At least I never re-install kali every new version, since you will have updated packages and libraries with safe and full upgrades.

Luck.

After I do these Steps, my Kali doesn't working. I cant start startx and the Network isn't working. Wlan and Lan.

What can I do ?

[maverik35]

Did you do exactly the steps?..I did 5 days ago and it runs like a charm. This is the third time I do this...

Any errors reported during safe-upgrade?....

Do you have VM or HDD installation?...Any errors reported after rebooting. Do you get to the grub menu?

Need more info.

[f0xp]

I did a clean install of Kali 1.06 now.

I try to install Nvidia Drivers for Pyrit but I have a problem with the Linux-Headers.

When I type apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)

I get this

Any errors reported during safe-upgrade?....

@marverik35
Can you please post the source.list?
I couldn't complete the command aptitude safe-upgradedue to unavailablity for some packages

[lee_can]

Finally it works by downloading fresh final version and changing the repository to different mirror as per

I'm getting the exact same problem. A fresh install didn't fix it. I've already tried different sources, but nothing seems to work; any ideas? I will keep trying sources and report back.
Edit:
Apt-cache search even shows that I have 3.12 kernel headers, but they aren't found when I try to install them.

I am getting this in my 3 VM's, along with my main Kali Desktop. A temporary solution for Virtualbox, for example, is to boot into the 3.7 kernel instead of the 3.12, so that the Virtualbox Guest Additions work fine. However, even under the 3.7 kernel, trying to update the kernel headers yields the same result (although the package name now says 3.7, obviously).

Hi, all..

I think my kali disro is upgreaded to the lastest version.

uname -r
3.12-kali1-686-pae

I was succeded to install kernel headers by the following command

apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

Here is the source file content
cat /etc/apt/
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

try to comment all lines in source.list and insert the line below if you are using 1.06 version:

[lee_can]

Before installing the linux header, did you clean your cache then make apt-get update?

[@sapiens]

Procceed to install Linux headers after completing apt-get update
Use only the repositories from here http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kal...t-repositories

apt-get clean to clean cache

[thenext]

Are you running this in a virtual box

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

[misterpaul]

I am having the exact same problem. I am wondering if it is related to the latest version of Virtual Box? I am running v 4.3.6 r91406. I have tried a half-dozen variants of the sources.list, to no avail. I have run apt-get upgrade and apt-get update before running apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r).

in my case, it can't locate 'linux-headers-3.7-trunk-amd64'

what other info can I provide to help us figure out why apt can't find the files?

I've figured it out. I tried as @sapiens suggested, but it did not work. However, I then did sudo uname -r, copied the kernel name, then did sudo apt-get install linux-headers-'INSERT_KERNEL_NAME_HERE', and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the tip @sapiens; it seems as if the old, apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) doesn't work anymore.

[@sapiens]

Thanks, for tip. I'm glad that your solution works for you.

[emmanneil]

I am having same problem , I gave done apt-get update using all repositories , omitting them and leave two in the source file list but I keep getting unable to locate packages error as above posts. Any more news on a fix ? I only want to install cuda

Did you try using apt-get install linux-headers-'INSERT_KERNEL_NAME_HERE', rather than apt-get install linux-headers$(uname -r)?

Edit:
You can find your kernel name by using uname -r.

[bulb]

Everybody here is the simple solution: in the command line there's a missing space between "headers" and "$"

So try this: apt-get install linux-headers $(uname -r)

[jdeca57]

I had the same problem and solved it adding deb-src for the security (copy the line and add -src) in /apt/sources.list so:
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
standard I had the distribution, the source of the distribution and the security updates without source.
And afterwards I did
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
so no spaces... ;-)

I looked for the solution for a long time , but there is a way that can get the problem solved , the detailed information can be seen in the following URL: http://www.geekyindians.com/content/...additions-kali , the method has been proved effectively.

I had the same issue. I found the solution here (in the comments) -> http://pantuts.com/2013/03/14/how-to...ernel-headers/

to fix ur error,try the following:
–>add repositories: open the /etc/apt/sources.list file in your favourite text editor as root, and paste the following lines ONLY the one missing from ur source list :
deb http://http.kali.org/ /kali main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/ /wheezy main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main/debian-installer

deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://repo.kali.org/kali kali-bleeding-edge main
–>SAVE and then UPDATE ur system

[CleanZombie]

To fix this problem all you need to do is open your sources.lst file in LeafPad which is located at /etc/apt/sources.list
then once it is open you need to delete the # in front of deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

and then paste the following below it:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib

deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib

Once you have done this save and close LeafPad & open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update

and then

apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`

Problem solved

[i360faceplant]

try sudo apt-get upgrade linux-headers

[Alix]

Check /etc/apt/sourses.lst
Was
deb http://security.kali.org/ kali/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.kali.org/ kali/updates main contrib non-free
and I received error as described above like
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.0.18-686-pae
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.0.18-686-pae'

Now /etc/apt/sourses.lst is

deb http://http.kali.org/kali/ kali-current main non-free contrib

deb-src http://security.kali.org/ kali/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-current main non-free contrib

and
apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
work without errors.

Any ideas?

[Botmaster]

i have same problem. is there any new source i need to add? because it cant find package for 4.0.0 header
apt-get update && apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)
used to work for previous version, but not for kali

[Cashiuus]

For Kali 2.0, I had the same issue, but it was due to the sources.list not including the http.kali.org entries from a vanilla install using the amd64 ISO. Add these into there and you should be able to locate the package correctly afterwards.

/etc/apt/sources.list:

# Regular Repositories
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free

# Source Repositories
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free

Then, you can update and install linux-headers:

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

Any ideas?

Your source file is wrong. Check: http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kal...t-repositories

For Kali 2.0, I had the same issue, but it was due to the sources.list not including the http.kali.org entries from a vanilla install using the amd64 ISO. Add these into there and you should be able to locate the package correctly afterwards.

/etc/apt/sources.list:

# Regular Repositories
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free

# Source Repositories
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free

Then, you can update and install linux-headers:

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

What do I need to do if it says permission denied?

Hi AAA

Are you root?
Otherwise run the command with "sudo" at the beginning or change to root by tipping "sudo su"..
