Dapper source code

[Patanjali]

All,

Can someone please point me to where the Dapper source code is kept on my system? The install of my system was all default settings, so I guess that the Dapper source files are where they go by default too.

Re: Dapper source code

Hi,

What kind of source file do you need ? I don't really get what you mean...

Re: Dapper source code

By default, they don't go anywhere, since they're not needed. What do you need them for?

Re: Dapper source code

I wanted to try recompiling my kernel, and thought I needed the source files for that.

I wanted to try recompiling my kernel

sudo apt-get build-essential
sudo apt-get linux-headers-$(uname -r)

bash: jack: command not found

jack@phoenix:~$ sudo apt-get linux-headers-$jack -r
E: Command line option ‘r’ [from -r] is not known.

E: Invalid operation

Strange, may be the shell ... anyway:

sudo apt-get linux-headers-2.6.15-28-386

Re: Dapper source code

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Its an easy mistake to make, I sure can attest to that

Re: Dapper source code

Thanks for your help people. All fine now (just need to source an idiots guide to recompiling the kernel).

Thanks again

Re: Dapper source code

Why do you even need/want to compile your own kernel?

[Patanjali]

Re: Dapper source code

I want to recompile the kernel for a couple of reasons. Firstly so that I can cut down the number of extraneous packages in my system, and secondly to improve mt understanding of the linux kernel in general. Basically I just like tinkering around under the hood!
