kernel

How misleading and complicated this task should be that I’m writing such an article in 2022? Anyway, if you struggle compiling a simple, standalone Linux kernel module on Debian, Ubuntu, Mint and the like, here’s the recipe: Fetch linux-source-<version> and linux-headers-<version> $ sudo apt install linux-source-5.4.0 linux-headers-$(uname -r) Do not use apt-get source linux-source-<version>, only pain will you find. Untar the fetched archive where you’d like $ tar jxvf /usr/src/linux-source-5.4.0.tar.bz2 Copy your current kernel configuration $ cd linux-source-5.

I work as a freelance contractor for about a year now, I quit a 10+ years regular CTO job to give into more technical subjects, troubleshoot, code, build infrastructures, A-Team style, I help companies with complex matters that might require experience and rigorousness. One of my last missions was really, really fun to deal with. A rather big company handling scientific, secret-level data, had an issue with their storage system.
