Kernel Sources

[sbm]

Are the kernel sources installed by default on Ubuntu hoary?
if yes: Where can I find them.

if no: How do I do it? And where will they be installed to?

The kernel sources have the package name of linux-source.

sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.10

Will be installed to /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.10.tar.bz2

You should probably install your kernel headers as well.

P.S - Do you read stickies when you enter a forum? :-P

If you need to make a module, just use the linux-headers package for your kernel. That is usually enough. If you need the source, install the linux-tree package.

The headers are on your cd, the other sources are in the archive on the net.

They will be in /usr/src once installed

Thanx for all your answers..

I try: sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.10
but that doesn't work... can i just copy the folder linux-source-2.6.10 of Ubuntu CD to /usr/src/ folder?

Thanks

P.S.: When i use: sudo apt-cache search linux-source 2.6
it return:
linux-image-xxxxx (i don't remember the numbers... O:) )

The CD method should work but you might post the apt errors.
That is the correct package name.

$ sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.10

Backup your current /etc/apt/sources.list file.
Then use mine as your own.

When you have copy/pasted mine over run an '$ sudo apt-get update' session.
Then again try to download the kernel source package.

I don't have Internet access in the PC with Linux...

[Xian]

You might have mentioned that.
Just install the linux-source-2.6.10_2.6.10-34.3 (http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.10/linux-source-2.6.10_2.6.10-34.3_all.deb) you have downloaded.
