Issue Description

I have followed the instructions here to install the Realsense sdk. I was able to install librealsense2-dkms, but after that, when running sudo apt-get install librealsense2-utils, it says: E: Unable to locate package librealsense2-utils

Hi @gmmyung There is not currently support for installing DKMS packages for kernel 6.8. The current newest supported kernel for package installation at the time of writing this is 6.5 in librealsense 2.55.1 (SDK beta versions 2.56.1 and 2.56.2 do not have DKMS packages).

SDK beta version 2.56.2 supports manual patching of a source code build of the SDK for kernel 6.8. Alternatively, you could try building the SDK from source code with the RSUSB backend installation method, which bypasses the kernel and so is not dependent on a particular Linux version or kernel version.

Ok, I guess I should go reinstall Ubuntu 22.04 :( Is there any timeframe/PR I can keep track of until this is resolved?

[MartyG-RealSense]

I recommend keeping an eye on the SDK 'Releases' page for the release of a non-beta version that has DKMS packages provided for it. I do not currently have information regarding a time estimate for when that will occur.

Hi @gmmyung Do you require further assistance with this case, please? Thanks!
