Hi. I am running GNOME desktop on Ubuntu 7.10 Server. I am trying to use Restricted Drivers Manager. I get a message saying :

"You need to install the package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server
for this program to work"

I can't find this package anywhere. How can I get this to work?

Thanks

"You need to install the package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server
for this program to work"

try this:

sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic

if that does not work type:

apt-cache search linux-restricted

that will give you a list of like results if you find one you like type
sudo apt-get install *found program useing apt-cache*

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried both suggestions and neither resolved the issue. I still get the same error message. Any other ideas?

Thanks

did you enable all of the repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list ?

How do you enable the repositories?

Systemm --> Administration --> Software sources, select main, universe, multiverse, etc., then do the commands in the posts above, and you should be ok :)

Same issue here. I can't find linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server, nor can I get Restricted Driver Manager to start without that message.

I have reloaded all the restricted packages I can find. I also reloaded all my repos.

No luck. Did anyone ever get a solution to this?

thanks,

I'm also having this issue since I updated my kernel today. Can't find the '-server' restricted drivers package.

Using Gutsy i386.

Does anyone know if this issue is resolved in 8.04 Server?
