Kali Linux Make failed

[JockerZeus]

Hello, when I do "make" it shows me a mistake, how can I do it?

uname -a

4.13.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.13.4-1kali1 (2017-10-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux

make

export DBGFLAGS

thank you for your answers.

[genodeftest]

Do you have linux kernel headers installed? Do you have the patches installed required for 4.14 (#77 and #83 or try my port-to-4.13 branch)?

[JockerZeus]

Hello,

I have not install linux kernel. I'm new to linux, I do not know how to install it. Is this tuto good? https://korben.info/installer-noyau-linux-kernel-facilement.html

thank you for your answers.

I don't know, but it does not look good to me. You should rather use the official documentation to your linux distribution which probably covers those standard tasks. I don't use Kali linux, but maybe running apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) as root is enough.

[JockerZeus]

hello it's fix. I have install Ubuntu. thx

Then please close this issue.

[genodeftest]

@hunatae : No. The issue you are running into is caused by the fact that you ran make as root. Please never ever do that. You might have broken your linux installation beyond any repair. In case you see strange errors in the next days, I suggest you reinstall your linux distribution.

You need to run all the commands from Readme.md as ordinary user.

For future notice: Your error message does not have anything in common with the one posted above, so please do not hijack this issue. In case you are running into a different problem, please make sure to open a separate issue. You probably should read and consider https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html.

[hunatae]

I'm new to linux, as you could have guessed. i'm running live with persistence. how and where would i run the commands from readme.md?

[genodeftest]

i'm running live with persistence

I don't know what that should be.

how and where would i run the commands from readme.md?

In a terminal, as ordinary user, NOT AS ROOT and NOT WITH SUDO

[hunatae]

tried as user still didnt work.

[genodeftest]

I guess running make as root f**ed up your filesystem. Try removing the Netgear-A6210 folder and start over (see README.md for a guide how to start). make really should not be trying to write anything into `/lib/modules/and any access to that folder must fail when running as ordinary user. Instead, it should create a build folder somewhere below yourNetgear-A6210`-folder.

In case that does not help, are you sure you have installed kernel headers? If you have installed kernel headers too, you probably need to format and reinstall your linux because running make as root broke it hard.

[hunatae]

in the source folder downloaded from git clone https://github.com/jurobystricky/Netgear-A6210, i checked the makefile. LINUX_SRC = /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build LINUX_SRC_MODULE = /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

so yeah....if it's not suppose to write there, then all the source code is wrong.............?

[genodeftest]

From the two lines of code you quoted (use Code syntax, if you want anyone to read it, please), there is nothing that indicates a write operation to that folder. It uses these folders (of course), but only for reading.

[hunatae]

is there an administrator on these forums that i can talk to please?

[genodeftest]

@hunatae : The maintainer of this repository is @jurobystricky, but I haven't heard from him in a while. If you have technical questions, you should post them here. If there is something wrong, you should use the report functionality.

[hunatae]

it's just that you're not giving any answers, rather saying i'm posting wrong and i broke my linux. i know it's something simple to get this driver installed, i just can't figure out what it is.

[genodeftest]

Hey, I'm trying. And I'm mostly out of ideas. And yes, you might have broke your linux.

Have you installed kernel headers? The package might be named kernel-headers and the version must match your installed kernel exactly.

[hunatae]

shouldn't everything be included when i installed kali? i'm currently researching how to install headers so i'll check.

[hunatae]

also, thank you for at least trying. no one else no matter where i posted for help answered. So i do appreciate that

[hunatae]

all i know for sure is that i installed kali live onto a usb drive using yumi. live with persistence did not work, so i figured out I had to create and mount a new partition on the usb drive which now allows persistence to work. that alone took me some time to accomplish.

[hunatae]

every header command i try to run gives me this.

[genodeftest]

Again, please use code blocks for readability. This is the least you could do.

Your dpkg sources configuration is broken. Instead of http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main[…] it should be https://http.kali.org/pool/main[…], i.e. without kali/ and with s in https.

Anyway, the package pool is only listing packages in version 4.14.x for the kernel, but you still have 4.9.x installed. This indicates that you haven't updated your system for ~1 year. You should urgently update your system right now or never use it again because it probably has hundreds of known security vulnerabilities open. If updating fails, you should reinstall your linux distribution.

When done, please try installing the kernel module again.

[hunatae]

this is a fresh install of linux.... anyways, what you just said was it's trying to fetch from an older version linux than the one i have? at this point im not surprised. can i get a link to the exact version i have and then just download it manually? or i can try and find a whole new version; the one i used was: kali-linux-2017.1-amd64.iso

[genodeftest]

this is a fresh install of linux....

It may have been, about 2 years ago.

anyways, what you just said was it's trying to fetch from an older version linux than the one i have?

No. It is trying to get the headers from the linux version you still have because either you did not try update your system for >1.5 years or because the distribution's update mechanism is broken. Or you did not update your linux for so long until the package pool changed its file structure.

or i can try and find a whole new version; the one i used was: kali-linux-2017.1-amd64.iso

The latest version is 2018.1, see the official downloads page.

[hunatae]

i'll download a new version. also, when you ask for code blocks, what does that mean?

[austynwolfe]

Hey genodeftest. I finally managed to get the driver installed but networks still aren't appearing, at least in the GUI. I'm new to Kali and this is a fresh install running live from a flash drive. If you have any idea how to proceed with my quest for wi-fi it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[genodeftest]

@austynwolfe: Try having a look in the syslog using dmesg and journalctl -b. In case you want to upload them, please upload them into a gist, because they are quite long. Arch Linux Wiki has some useful information and maybe the Linux kernel wireless wiki has some too.

[hunatae]

im not sure if i finally got mine to work because at the very end it gave me this:

btw i looked at the page you told me to look at, and i still dont know what code blocks are so im sorry for the above if its "hard to read"
