Install USB/IP on Ubuntu 22.04 on Windows Subsystem for Linux

  • 772

Attempting to install USB/IP on Ubuntu 22.04 per the Microsoft docs:

On Ubuntu, run this command:

sudo apt install linux-tools-5.4.0-77-generic hwdata
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/local/bin/usbip usbip /usr/lib/linux-tools/5.4.0-77-generic/usbip 20

But running that results in:

E: Unable to locate package linux-tools-5.4.0-77-generic
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-tools-5.4.0-77-generic'

How do I install USB/IP on Ubuntu 22.04 on WSL?

    Fairly easy to figure out (especially if you are using a shell that autocompletes apt package names), but you'll need to modify the command for the current kernel version linux-tools package for 22.04 as follows:

    sudo apt install linux-tools-5.15.0-25-generic hwdata
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/local/bin/usbip usbip /usr/lib/linux-tools/5.15.0-25-generic/usbip 20
