15.04 upgrade, where is the kernel source?

[stepheny]

I have tried to get my nVidia GPU working in 15.04 but when I run
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bbswitch-dkms I get the following warning:


Entpacken von bbswitch-dkms (0.7-2ubuntu1) über (0.7-2ubuntu1) ...
bbswitch-dkms (0.7-2ubuntu1) wird eingerichtet ...
Loading new bbswitch-0.7 DKMS files...
Building only for 3.16.0-34-generic
Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the
kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.

I have installed "linux-source" but still get the same warning.

when you upgrade, then you might need to clean the system with 'sudo apt-get autoremove'
this is normal that it fails, and expected, as the kernel 3.16 does not exist into vivid archive; it is running kernel 3.19.x

be sure that /etc/apt/sources.list is only using vivid archives

Nope, that did't help


~$ sudo apt-get autoremove

And /etc/apt/sources.list is only using vivid archives!

Have you tried System Settings>Software & Updates>Ubuntu Software and making sure that there is a tick mark against Source Code?

Thanks, that fixed the dkms problem.

Still having problems with nVidia and Eclipse/Arduino IDE though. See here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2275082) for details.

Hey guys,

I am having the same problem and grahammechanical answer didn't solve, look:


sudo apt-get install --reinstall bbswitch-dkms
...
------------------------------
Deleting module version: 0.7
completely from the DKMS tree.

Done.
