Re: [Line6linux-user] Problem installing

[Denis M. <den...@ho...>]

Hi Stefan,

Here is the output of the command :

$ grep -r kstrtou16 /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-37-generic
grep: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-37-generic/source: Aucun fichier ou 
dossier de ce type (/No file or folder found)/
$ uname -r
2.6.32-37-generic

It seems it cannot find 'source' which is a broken link targetting 
"/build/buildd/linux-2.6.32".

I didn't know that I had to upgrade to a newer version to get the latest 
kernel. I will try it next week and come to you if I find any problem.

Thanks you !

Denis.
