I need the kernel-headers-2.6.17-10-generic but I had not this kernel-headers in my repositories. How I get this?

Try "apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic"

If apt doesnt find them, you probably dont have the Universe -repository enabled.
This can be enabled by editing /etc/apt/sources.list
This can also be done with Synaptic.

You can also download them here:

They're called linux-headers-[blahblah].

To install matching headers for the kernel you are running at the moment try:

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

The uname part inserts the output of uname -r in the terminal:

Code:

uname -r
2.6.17-10-generic

If you are using Adept Manager, you can just open Adept, select View/Manage Repositories, then find the line/lines Universe, right click on them and select 'Enable', then click 'Apply' then 'Close' then 'Fetch Updates' Then your good to go, you can do the same for 'universe multiverse' etc if you like.

If you use Synaptic, Settings/Repositories, then tick the box/boxes you want, click 'OK' then reload.

That's the easy GUI way anyways.

To do it the manual CLI way, open a terminal/konsole and type,

sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list (click enter)
type in your password, find the lines containing the universe repo's and remove the # from in front of them, eg

#deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe
#deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe

would become,

deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe
deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe

Do that for what ever repo's you want, eg, universe multiverse, save the file and exit. Load up your package manager, Adept or Synaptic, and either "Fetch Updates" or 'Reload' depending on which you use.

Other ways:

sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list

or:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
