How do I install this module?
Okay okay, I'm new to ubuntu and I have drawing tablet, Hanvon, I found the module for it but I don't know how to install it. I've searched hours online for this and didn't have any luck.
Below is the link to a screenshot of the content of the tarball and the readme file.

The files you show in the archive is the source code for the kernel module (driver) itself. We will compile it before installing.
Firstly, I am assuming the "hanvon-20111102.tgz" file is in your "Downloads" folder.
Open a terminal (Click on the Unity dash on the top-left hand corner of the screen and type in 'terminal').
Then, enter this in.
It should (according to the readme at least) show up if you runCode:cd ~/Downloads #Create a clean folder to extract and compile the driver mkdir -p hanvon_drivers/build mv hanvon-20111102.tgz hanvon_drivers cd hanvon_drivers tar xvf hanvon-20111102.tgz mv hanvon/* build #Install gcc and other tools needed to build kernel module from source sudo apt-get install build-essential #type in password at this point, it will not show up cd build #Compile Module make #Insert module in kernel sudo insmod ./hanvon.ko
btw, don't worry about it if you ever post in the wrong section. Just click on the "report abuse" button on the left hand side of the screen (for me, I see yours at the bottom left of your post), and ask for someone to move itCode:lsmod

run
instead (for some reason, the screenshot didn't show directory structure inside the tar...)Code:sudo apt-get install build-essential #type in password at this point, it will not show up cd ~/Downloads/hanvon_drivers/hanvon #Compile Module make #Insert module in kernel sudo insmod ./hanvon.ko
Also, make sure you don't have anything else installing via the software center/apt/synaptic

something is wrong with the source code - but you can probably ignore that warning that it treated as an error.
What is the link to the download?

Ignore it? How?

Are you using the required 2.6 linux kernel? You can check with:
If you have a newer ubuntu release then you probably have 3.x kernel.Code:uname -a

vinizzz@ubuntu:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 3.5.0-19-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 13 17:48:01 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
So does that mean I need to get the 2.6 linux kernel? e_e If so, how?

I suggest you contact the manufacturer of your drawing tablet to obtain updated instructions for current Ubuntu releases. Or use the forum Search feature to see how other users have managed to get this tablet working. Good luck!
