Undefined Symbol In Preprocessor In Mixed C/Asm Build

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.

Hi, I am a newbie but tried to be overly smart. This is a brand new installation of Linux Mint dual booting with Windows 8.1 on an inexpensive but new notebook (Dell inspiron 14 - 3451).

Well, I read a tutorial and added a keymap after editing 5 files.
All these files are at /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules:
xorg.xml, xorg.lst, evdev.xml, base.xml, base.list
The symbols file is:
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/lk

Now I get this error:

===============================
Error activating XKB configuration.
There can be various reasons for that.

If you report this situation as a bug, include the results of
• xprop -root | grep XKB
• gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard model
• gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard layouts
• gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard options
===============================

I went through the files for errors, found some and fixed them (I think). Still this same error pops up when I try to add the new layout. How do I do what the message tells me to do (in order to get help)?

May be I'll get some idea if I see the 'results' it is talking about.
But what does it mean by, for example, 'xprop -root | grep XKB'? Must be some console command, but I do not know even how to do that.

Any help or hint is gratefully appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi guys,
.
For no apparent actions from me, hidden folders and files show
in my /user/home directory, they are as follows:-

folders:
.adobe .cache .config .cups .filezilla .gimp-2.8 .gnupg .gphoto .gstreamer-0.10 .icedtea .java .local .macromedia .mozilla .pki .thumbnails

Files:
.bash_history .bashrc .esd_auth .ICEauthority

In my / directory
File: ./readahead

Seeking help to verify the above folder and files are not from a harmful source or application?

If they do not post any thread to the system, how can I conceal
these folders and files, so that they don't show up any more in
my home and / directory ?

Many thanks.

Hello,

I am working on a board (sbc6000x with at91sam9261 micro, linux 2.6.24 to be precise) and having some fun making script i wanted to make real application.
The board is coming with a cross compilation toolchain. When trying to make a simple "hello world" executable to print on the terminal there is no problem.
I open my terminal, give the path of the compiler, cd into the folder where my .c file is and then i type :
Code:

arm-linux-gcc -o hello hello.c

Which create my executable "hello" and this one is working. But like i said, this program only played with the terminal.

The board is starting with a script calling another executable which use the lcd display, i have the source of this executable. My idea was to look at what was in the source of this application (lots of folders and files) in order to understand how it was working. I wanted to test the toolchain on the source (with the makefile) to see if i was able to generate an executable from a application with folderS/fileS but when i try to "make" it i have this error.

In my understanding this is an object file but aside from that i don't see why it would not works.

Thank you for your future answers !

Hi Everybody.....
I'm new to this site and new to Linux ( Ubuntu 12.04) generally. I am an old goat mechanical engineer with years of electronic instrumentation design experience. I am connecting several of my old HP digital oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to a Ubuntu box via GPIB (ieee 488) interface. I have the interface working well using the open source ( Sourceforge) "Linux-GPIB" kernel module. I can remotely control the instruments using "Linux-GPIB"'s "ibterm" terminal utility. However "ibterm" doesn't provide a means to do a scope screen dump to a file. A guy on EEBLOG published a short C language 30 line source code to perfome this function. Unfortunately it isn't a package with makefile.am, makefile .in, configure etc which I understand I could compile using the typical ./config, make, checkinstall procedure. It is just the c source code text. Soooo.....do I use gcc directly? If so, how do I run gcc in a manner to be able to uninstall all the various files it will make? Or ?? What is the procedure for automake in this situation ? Or....? I'm kind of lost. Your suggestions would be helpful.
Cheers.

I recently crashed my LMDE system, and trying to retrieve something from the disaster, booted up the failsafe OS and copied a number of files onto a USB stick using the 'cp'command.
'ls -alrt /media/dougb' showed that the files were present and correct on the stick.

However when I attached the stick to a working LMDE PC there appeared to be nothing on it, whether I looked at the stick in the desktop file manager or by listing in a terminal.

I've tried changing the permissions and/or ownership of the files (via the broken OS) without success.

Why aren't the files visible? What can I do about it?

Hey, I'm aware that /etc/ stores config files and in my home directory I also have dot files as well as a .config folder.

And I'm told not to edit /etc/ but create a copy in my home directory to preserve original files. Is it as simple as creating the full path the same as /etc/ and editing it in home folder?

Ideally this is how I hope it works, because I don't want to edit /etc/ and end up with a bunch of custom, non default files.

I would like to tar up some system logs with core files as a normal user through a script. However these core files are owned by root.

Of course I get "cannot read directory ...: Permission denied"

Is there a good way to grab these core files through a script? From searching around, I get that the best way is to modify the sudoers file, then run the script with sudo. Is this considered the safest and best way?

Thanks!
