Thanks Jason, that worked out for me.
Hmm.. I thought I was up to date. Shouldn't it be checking that when I do
the software updater?
Oh you're on 4.8? Support for the 4.8 series was discontinued back in January
and the packages for it have since been removed from my APT repository so
there's nothing for the package manager to find.
Currently supported versions can be found on https://jxself.org/linux-libre/

That needs the kernel headers too:
grimlok@alpha-trion:~$ sudo m-a prepare

How about this then.

I am trying to just run my windows 7 vm and it gives an error stating the
kernel drivers are not installed, and it needs the headers to install them.
Is it Guest Additions that won't work without the headers or what?
I will give that a go. Thanks Mangy!
Is there something other than VirtualBox? Unfortunately I need to use it to
access some things at work being that I work in a ::cough:: ::cough:; Windows
environment... How do I check where the headers are? Because when I run the
command 'sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' it tells me my

but if it is newer, most definitely you are right.
If you're using the kernel package from my repository you get the headers
automatically.
Also, you know that VirtualBox has freedom problems right? Not all of it can
be compiled with a free compiler. So for your freedom's sake please use
something else.
It's the kernel header files I guess. VirtualBox uses them to interface with
the kernel. Everytime Linux-Libre updates I need to run that command so that
my system has the most up-to-date version of the header files. The most
current versions of the kernel does not seem to have them in
Hello. I am not sure of what you mean.
You con install jxself kernel

Or if that is not what you need, perhaps look at this

Hope that helps :)
Help? :-)
Hey all,
I was wondering where I could pick up the kernel headers for the newest
iterations of the linux-libre kernel. I used to be able to get it by using
this command: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` but it says
they are nowhere to be found. The reason for doing
