I’m trying to achieve my goal from here . One of the very first steps is to install necessary packages: Option for Debian, Kali, and Raspberry Pi Desktop (x86) sudo apt install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential bc dkms git libelf-dev rfkill iw But, for the linux-headers I’m getti…

For .qubes kernels, dom0 already provides the headers to the VM at the conventional place /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build without having to install a separate kernel headers package.

Thanks @rustybird . I am aware of the files both in dom0 and VMs, as wel as in /usr/src folders, but since I don’t have experience with this at all, I am not nearly sure how can I use your info to overcome system complaint above.

To me, it looks like a mix of a Fedora build kernel (fc32.qubes) and Debian installer (apt install). I don’t know if the Qubes testing repos provide those packages (?) … :-/

[image] enmus: how can I use your info to overcome system complaint above It should be enough to omit linux-headers-$(uname -r) from the command you posted, changing it to: sudo apt install -y build-essential bc dkms git libelf-dev rfkill iw

Ah, thanks, I saw it meanwhile: sudo make dkms_install mkdir: created directory '/usr/src/8812au-5.6.4.2_35491.20191025' cp -r * /usr/src/8812au-5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 dkms add -m 8812au -v 5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/8812au/5.6.4.2_35491.20191025/source -> …

Thanks to @ChrisA and @xn0px90 on their opinions (it happens both in Debian and Fedora templates) too. Please see my message above.

Oh man, I was too fixated on your immediate question of where to get the kernel headers. Actually using DKMS with a dom0-provided kernel seems like it would be quite painful, because of the mismatched build environment (Qubes R4.1 kernels are built in Fedora 32) and probably a complete lack of integ…

[image] rustybird: Oh man, I was too fixated on your immediate question of where to get the kernel headers. Well, I wanted to be fixated on this, since on different topics I already tried everything else. This was last to try using Qubes kernel-latests and or >=v6.x to build drivers using dkm…
