Header Installation Issue - Mate Raspberry Pi

Asked by Graeme Milgate

Hi all,

First of all merry holiday season, I have a problem that has been driving me nuts on a raspberry pi 3 with mate installed. I need to install a displaylink driver in the hopw of running dual monitor. The driver gives an error that it is missing Linux headers. When i attempt to install the headers I get the following error -

E: Unable to locate package Linux-headers-4.4.27-v7
E: Couldn't find any packages by glob "Linux-headers-4.4.27-v7"
E: Couldn't find any package by regex "Linux-headers-4.4.27-v7"

I have tries numerous solutions from the inter net that seemed to solve similar issues to no avail.
Although I am not a complete Linux newbie I am pretty close and by no means a guru and I have been very keen on Ubuntu for a while.
Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted
Kind Regards

Linux is case sensitive and none of the packages have capital letters. If you run:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic

It will install what is needed

Apologies for the rookie mistake, I am well aware that *nix is case sensitive but I couldn't see the "wood for he trees" so to speak. I was far too caught up in other issues. Looks like it is installing fine. Thank-you so very much. Is it ok to keep this query open for a few days in case I have some further dramas with this?
Once again thanks heaps
Kind Regards
