dnw is a download tool for ARM. Maybe secbulk is it's driver. I don't know much about it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

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,

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!

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

Hi all,

I'm new to Kali and couldnt get my wireless adapter working. I followed some tutorials on the internet but when I tried to install the driver I get the this:

PHP Code:
root@kali:~/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux# make
make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/3.18.0-kali3-amd64/build M=/root/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux  modules
make: *** /lib/modules/3.18.0-kali3-amd64/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [modules] Error 2 


Is there someone how made it with the installation and can help me?
If something is missing, please ask me.

Sorry for my English :P

Hi folks,

I'm trying to install the drivers for my "legacy" nvidia graphics card.
I've downloaded the file from nvidia's website to install the driver, but during the process I get this message...

Kernel header file ' /lib/modules/3.13.0-37-generic/build/include/linux/version.h ' does not exist .

The most likely reason is the kernel source files in ' /lib/modules/3.13.0-37-generic/build ' have not been configured.

Anyone know how to configure this file? I've been working on this for a few days now...it's getting old!

Thanks for your help.

Joe

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.
** Build for being controlled by NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant wext functions
Please set 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y'.
=> #>cd wpa_supplicant-x.x

** Build for being controlled by WpaSupplicant with Ralink Driver

=> #>cd wpa_supplicant-0.5.7
=> #>./wpa_supplicant -Dralink -ira0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d

4> $make
# compile driver source code
# To fix "error: too few arguments to function ¡¥iwe_stream_add_event"
=> $patch -i os/linux/sta_ioctl.c.patch os/linux/sta_ioctl.c

5> $cp RT2860STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat

6> load driver
#[kernel 2.4]
# $/sbin/insmod rt2860sta.o
# $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up

#[kernel 2.6]
# $/sbin/insmod rt2860sta.ko
# $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up

7> unload driver
$/sbin/ifconfig ra0 down
$/sbin/rmmod rt2860sta

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

Dear all,

I am trying to cross compile Apache httpd-2.4.12 for ARM, but after solving some errors I arrived to a point where I get an error in the make process that I do not know how to solve it.

I am using apr-1.5.2, apr-util-1.5.4 and PCRE-8.37 which I copied to httpd-2.4.12/srclib/ with the names apr, apr-util and pcre.

For compile htttp I use:
Code:

./configure --prefix='/usr/local/apache' CC=arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-gcc --host=arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi --with-included-apr ac_cv_file__dev_zero="yes" ac_cv_func_setpgrp_void="yes"C ap_cv_void_ptr_lt_long="no" ac_cv_struct_rlimit="yes"

The output is:

Hello all,
i'm trying to upgrade my 2.4.x to 2.6.x ( on slackware 10.0)
i've experience of compiling 2.4.x to 2.4.x.

so the final steps were..........

make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install ( now here its showing error )

last lines of "make modules"
.........

...............


i used the "config" from the second cd of slackware 10.0.
inside somewhere in "testing" folder.


A person asked me this

Code:

Did you upgrade your module-init-tools?
It's necessary if you go from 2.4 to 2.6

the version for it is :
Code:

root@bond:/home/bond# depmod -V
module-init-tools 3.0
root@bond:/home/bond#

so i don't think i need to upgrade it.....

now experimently i tried to upgrade witheut loading any "config"
everything worked fine in that case...

so what could be the problem.........any problem with that "config"???

if required......i can post that "config" too.

regards
