need kernel-source/headers


Ok, I'm running ubuntu linux 5.10 kernel 2.6.12-8-386 I'm trying to get the kernel-source and kernel-headers and its not working

# apt-get install kernel-source-`uname -r`
# apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r`

thats what I'm trying. I also tryed with just kernel-source kernel-source-2.6.12 etc. I know apt-get is working because I got gcc-4.0 and make with this. I need the source/headers to install the nvidia drivers!

Hi,

I'm not an expert about apt but I think you should try this:

# apt-get update
# apt-cache search kernel-headers

to find the available packages.
