How to reinstall missing kernel modules after deletion?












1















The other day I was cleaning some disk space. I deleted some directories with the Linux Kernel headers. Now I see a lot of errors complaining about missing Linux headers. I tried to reinstall them but, can't find them.



I've already researched many commands but, none of them work. This is what I have tried so far:



linux@linux:~$ sudo apt-get install uswsusp

The other day I was cleaning some disk space. I deleted some directories with the Linux Kernel headers. Now I see a lot of errors complaining about missing Linux headers. I tried to reinstall them but, can't find them.



I've already researched many commands but, none of them work. This is what I have tried so far:

The other day I was cleaning some disk space. I deleted some directories with the Linux Kernel headers. Now I see a lot of errors complaining about missing Linux headers. I tried to reinstall them but, can't find them.



I've already researched many commands but, none of them work. This is what I have tried so far:

The other day I was cleaning some disk space. I deleted some directories with the Linux Kernel headers. Now I see a lot of errors complaining about missing Linux headers. I tried to reinstall them but, can't find them.
