You need to install a package like this: linux-headers-3.9-1-amd64 and a package like this: linux-headers-amd64. You will have to replace the 3.9-1-amd64 with your own specifications. Since you didn't tell us what kernel you're using nor what architecture I can't be more specific than that.

Then post the results and we can tell you which one to choose. I'm guessing you need something like linux-headers-2.6.31-generic.
That's quite an old kernel you're running. What version of Ubuntu are you using?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply and for increasin my knowledge regarding ubuntu.
I got following output:
Code:
~$ aptitude search linux-headers
v linux-headers -
v linux-headers-2.6 -
i A linux-headers-2.6.31-14 - Header files related to Linux kernel versi
i A linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic - Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.31 on
i linux-headers-generic - Generic Linux kernel headers
:~$
Plz tell me how you are going to determine files using the above information.
You need to update your Ubuntu version. 9.10 is surely no longer supported. Try installing the latest version (13.04) and your problems should go away.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Actually i forgot this. However i tried to make a bootable disk using unetbootin. I checked the diskimage option and selected ubuntu (13.04 HMedia) and provided path for my ubuntu iso on my h/d and provided a space of 1MB.It created a bootable disk. Then I conected the bootable disk to the computer on which i have to install ubuntu and choose the bios option to boot from usb. I got unetbootin window which was showing default option. Below this window, it was written:
Quote:
Press [Tab]to edit option
Automatic boot in 10 seconds
However if i press enter key, it restarts the 10 sec timer. Kindly guide me about my mistake.
Hi,
After 10s it restarts the counter from 10 and goes back to 0.
I dont remember that i used unetbootin when i installed the version 9 of ubuntu. But i had windows 7 in my machine at that time. Kindly help me.
Zulfi.
So you made a bootable DISK with unetbootin?!?! I thought you were trying to make a bootable USB stick. Which one is it? If you're using a disk and not a stick then you don't use unetbootin.
