usbip - Why is linux version different in linux-source package and uname -r?

grill_gus

I am trying to install and run usbip using this link . But the version of linux tools does not corespond with uname. I get an error when I try this: /usr/lib/linux-tools/`uname -r`/usbipd When running uname I get this: root@allan-MS-7998:/# uname -r 4.2.0-42-generic In /usr/lib/linux-tools/ is a folder named 3.13.0-100-generic and not 4.2.0-42-generic.

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

To install USBIP 2.0 on 4.2.0-42-generic I had to find the source code to USBIP. It is not /usr/lib/linux-tools/. The source was to be found in the folder: linux-lts-wily-4.2.0 I found the source in this folder: linux-lts-wily-4.2.0/tools/usb/usbip Following the instructions in this link I was able to compile, install and run USBIP. Installing linux-tools-generic did not work. I had to compile from source. I can now connect to my Arduino on my Raspberry Py's USB port from my Ubuntu computer. Much faster than using XRDP and running Arduino IDE directly on the Raspberry Pi.
