The bug this is a duplicate of, seems very vague, but this bug actually
demonstrated exactly what I'm experiencing:
sudo /etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller start
* Running DKMS auto installation service for kernel 2.6.27-12-generic
* kqemu (1.3.0~pre11)... [
FAIL]
* nvidia (177.82)... [ FAIL
]
* vboxdrv (2.0.4)... [FAIL
]
* virtualbox-ose-guest (2.0.4)... [ FAIL
]
I upgraded my kernel from 2.6.27-11-generic to 2.6.27.11-generic. When I
attempted to build the kernel module manually with dkms, this is what
happened:
dkms build -m nvidia -v 177.82 -k 2.6.27-12-generic
Error! Your kernel source for kernel 2.6.27-12-generic cannot be found at
/lib/modules/2.6.27-12-generic/build or /lib/modules/2.6.27-12-generic/source.
You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.
Looking at /lib/modules/2.6.27-12-generic/source gave me this:
ls /lib/modules/2.6.27-12-generic/
initrd modules.dep modules.ofmap modules.usbmap
kernel modules.ieee1394map modules.pcimap updates
modules.alias modules.inputmap modules.seriomap volatile
modules.ccwmap modules.isapnpmap modules.symbols
Question: is there a directory that exists that has the source so I can
build this manually? I used a solution from a forum the last time this
happened, only I don't exactly remember the solution. I'm sorry if I'm
wrong about this being a duplicate!
