Need Kernel Header File

When I start the VMware Player on Fedora 21, I am unable to execute the VMware Player 10. It is throwing errors at me.
Here is the error message log when I run the VMware Player GUI startup.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

OK,

Lastnight I decided to finally attempt to install the dedicated ATI/AMD Catylist drivers. After all I was successfull with the HP drivers, right...

No matter which grub selection I make, getting in is broken, except of course for the Windows XP Pro x64 entry, that works just fine. I'm here with you today, because of the Fedora 21 Live DVD, (slooooww).

Here is the drivers log file:

I just rebooted without attempting to configure the card, as per the ATI/AMD warning stating that it's important to do so, because my thinking was derailed due to seeing errors, and the install program said I needed to reboot. Afterall, I just couln't believe that with a "Failed to compile kernel module" error, it would actually keep the changes I'd made, that surely Linux had a failsafe in place for such circumstances. In other words, I'm also a newbie, and just don't know how many hoops of fire one has to jump through to be at peace with linux.

Can anyone please help be get back into my install, I've already set up so many things, there's just got to be a way, right?


Thanks in Advance!

Hi, I am trying to install a smartcard reader driver onto my ubuntu machine. I am not able run the make file.

The output of makefile is as follows:
Code:

amit@ubuntu:~/Downloads/Linux Driver/rts_pstor$ sudo make
sed "s/RTSX_MK_TIME/`date +%y.%m.%d.%H.%M`/" timestamp.in > timestamp.h
cp -f ./define.release ./define.h
make -C /lib/modules/3.16.0-36-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/amit/Downloads/Linux Driver/rts_pstor modules

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-36-generic'
make: *** [default] Error 2
amit@ubuntu:~/Downloads/Linux Driver/rts_pstor$

The make file for this driver is as follows:

Code:

TARGET_MODULE := rts_pstor

EXTRA_CFLAGS := -Idrivers/scsi 

obj-m += $(TARGET_MODULE).o

$(TARGET_MODULE)-objs := rtsx.o rtsx_chip.o rtsx_transport.o rtsx_scsi.o rtsx_card.o \
			 general.o sd.o xd.o ms.o spi.o

default:

	cp -f ./define.release ./define.h
	make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build SUBDIRS=$(shell pwd) modules
debug:

install:
	cp $(TARGET_MODULE).ko /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/kernel/drivers/scsi -f

Please let me know any of your comments.

Thanks,
Amit

lsmod is command to list loaded modules and I referred man page of lsmod that shows it refers to /proc/modules file. In terms of my os platform, Ubuntu, almost available modules are in /lib/module directory. I think OS kernel naturally loads modules in there. So, What does kernel refer to load modules at boot time?

Is there any files to be refereed for loading or mechanism can't know easily for end user?

Trying to install software/drivers for wireless dongle on my Fedora Linux box. I have downloaded and expanded my files into my /home/me/Downloads.

In my example: /home/cjh/Downloads/LinuxDriver4Fedora_v2.5.0.3
This is where the make file is.

I run make and get an error:
"make -C /lib/modules/3.4.2-1.fc16.i686/build SUBDIRS=/home/cjh/Downloads/LinuxDriver4Fedora_v2.5.0.3/os/linux modules
make: *** /lib/modules/3.4.2-1.fc16.i686/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [LINUX] Error 2"

The directory "/home/cjh/Downloads/LinuxDriver4Fedora_v2.5.0.3/os/linux" does exist.

What am I missing? I have run it as myself and root and get the same error.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

TIA,

I have installed Linux 3.5 kernel and have compiled e2fsprogs as well. I have my own version of ext3 file system - lets say it is myfs. I have compiled myfs as well. Now I have few questions:

1.How to insert myfs module and where? When I do modprobe myfs (.ko file) it says module not found. When I simply do insmod myfs.ko it works but I am not sure where is it putting the .ko file. Also the displays I have added (on mkdir call) are not showing up (kernel debug level is also set to 8) when I try to create a directory in mounted folder

Makefile in myfs directory looks like this:

KERNEL_TREE ?= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)

obj-m := iext3.o

iext3-objs := balloc.o bitmap.o dir.o file.o fsync.o ialloc.o inode.o \
ioctl.o namei.o super.o symlink.o hash.o resize.o ext3_jbd.o \
xattr.o xattr_user.o xattr_trusted.o acl.o xattr_security.o icefs.o \
transaction.o commit.o recovery.o checkpoint.o revoke.o journal.o

all:
make -C $(KERNEL_TREE) M=$(PWD) modules

clean:
rm -rf *.o *~ core .depend .*.cmd *.ko *.mod.c .tmp_versions *.markers *.order *.symvers

and I am compiling myfs from my own directory: /home/myname/soft/myfs.

Also, I don't see any ext2/ext3/ext4 directories in /lib/modules/linuxversion/kernel/fs/ -- not sure if this is right or wrong.

2.Mount is working fine. I can see myfs is mounted on /dev/sda3 by doing df -a. When I unmount It says - umount: /home/..../mnt: not mounted and then if I do df -a the file system is unmounted. This is strange as its unmounting but still throwing error.

Some Background: Directory where I have everything: /home/soft myfs/ mye2fs/ Linux-3.5/ mnt/

Step1: cd Linux-3.5 --> 1) make 2) make modules 3) make modules_install 4) make install 5) reboot

Step2: compile myfs (my version of ext3) and insert the myfs kernel module --> cd myfs/ --> make --> insmod myfs.ko

Step3: compiled mye2fs for mkfs

Step4: use mye2fs to create myfilesystem on a device --> mount --> test printk statements put under myfs modules

new computer from boxes, does not install nvidia driver
Booted from USB then ran YaST, I am new with OpenSuse but have two times before installed OpenSuse on fresh HDD's and Nvidia cards with ease.

The symptoms are like when I switched from a GTX 640 that only has mother board power to the GTX 750 Ti and needed power that I did not connect at first. Until I added extra power to the graphics card I only got a single low res VGA output. This 750 card definitely has power but still can only provide single low res to VGA output.

Terminal (dmesg) ......The NVIDIA GPU 0000:01:00.0 (PCI ID: 10de:1380)installed in this system is not supported by the 304.125 NVIDIA Linux driver release. Please see 'Appendix A - supported NVIDIA GPU Products' in this release's README, available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. .... None of the VVIDIA graphics adapters were initialized!

Terminal (uname -r) 3.16.7-21 -default [OpenSuse version]

Terminal (/sbin/lspci) VGA Compatible controller: Nvidia Corporation GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] (rev 02)

have tried:
1. different power cables to graphic card
2. two GTX 750 Ti cards, neither work.
3. re-installed OpenSuse
4. removed card and mother board can run two monitors in high res. DVI cables are new and work. Monitors (4) are all AOC i2367 and working.

5. added to repository 'bumblebee' which contains NVIDIA drivers and tried rebooting. I am not good at repositories yet. However, I didn't need to do this twice before on new installs with NVIDIA cards.

6. downloaded from www.geforce.com file:///home/shark/Downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.72(1).run but when I run it error, "The file /home/shark/Downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.72(3).run was opened with UTF-8 encoding but contained invalid characters."It is set to read-only mode, as saving might destroy its content.
Either reopen the file with the correct encoding chosen or enable the read-write mode again in the menu to be able to edit it."

Hardware list: Asus H81M-E motherboard, i5 4460 CPU, 550W power, Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti graphic card,

Note: two graphic cards on hand, both work in another OpenSuse computer.

I am just learning Linux so I need simple step by step instructions.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,
These NVIDIA products are real nightmares. I recently downloaded a copy a sabayon linux for my desktop.
The live dvd booted with the following error message throughout the screen

However after a long time it started up properly. After installing the os I found that the problem still persists. Firtsly it took about 10 mins or so to boot. And then apart from terminal 7 (which is the graphical terminal) all other terminals shows the above output. It seems like it has fallen through an infinite loop. I tried downloading some drivers from the nvidia site but simply could not install them because it mandates the X to stop working. If I do so I won't be able to install it from other terminals.

I have attached the output of "dmesg".
Any help is appreciated.

Hey guys. So I just went out and bought a Sager 8268-s (clevo p150sm-a) With an i7 4910mq and a Nvidia 980m gt. As I am a computer tech by trade, every time i see Windows i get horrible PTSD so i decided to try Linux instead. After many hours of trying to get a dual boot working finally got Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon installed on my computer, but when I went to install the Nvidia driver it landed me in fallback mode which I could not escape. So then I tried Ubuntu 14.04 LTS thinking maybe Mint was incompatible with the driver and the same thing happened.

So here is my method:

(sorry i don't know how to make a code box :/ )

First I log in to get root access:

$ su

Then I Update the xorg:

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

Then update my system:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Then i go into Virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and disable the display manager:

$ sudo service mdm (or lightdm for Ubuntu) stop

Then i install the drivers which i have done multiple ways:

$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings

or

$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-343 nvidia-settings

or by downloading the driver from Nvidia (first designating the file as executable)

$ sudo sh nvidia.run && sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings

Then after install, I create the config file:

$ sudo nvidia-xconfig

Then I reboot. After I get the low res mode in Ubuntu or fallback mode in Mint and Driver manager doesn't detect any proprietary drivers and I have to reinstall to get the OS working again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I am new to kali linux and have got a fresh install with all the current updates (without any new repositories). I am really interested in aircrack and wifi exploitation. But before i can do any of that i need to install my second network adapter, the asus n53 pcie. I am able to type this because my motherboard came with its own intergrated wifi adapter, the aetheros (something). That was working out of the box as soon as kali linux was installed, however i need a proper network adapter (the n53) to make use of my 3rd party long range antenna (it can pick up networks over 600m away ).

I am attempting to install my asus n53 pcie network adapter but have had no success at all, most likely because i have no idea what to do once i have extracted the driver. Currently it is sitting in my home folder. It has a few folders and files in it, with these being the folders

(chips, common, include, os, rate_ctrl, sta and tools)

and these being the files

(iwpriv_usage.txt, makefile, readme_sta_pci, rt2860STA.dat, rt2860staCarddat, sta_ate_iwpriv_usage.txt.)

In the readme file it says this in the instructions:

1> $tar -xvzf DPB_RT2860_Linux_STA_x.x.x.x.tgz
go to "./DPB_RT2860_Linux_STA_x.x.x.x" directory.

2> In Makefile
set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and chose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX"
define the linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC
modify to meet your need.

3> In os/linux/config.mk
define the GCC and LD of the target machine
define the compiler flags CFLAGS
modify to meet your need.

7> unload driver
$/sbin/ifconfig ra0 down

And this to me looks like another language. I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT if someone could give me step by step instructions on how to install this, without skipping on anything. I will even pay 10000 dogecoin if someone helps me! I have been searching youtube tutorials for 3 hours (lol) for it and havent found anything. Please help me!

Thanks
