I want to use USBIP in an Ubuntu 20.04 Docker Container. I tried installing the "linux-tools-generic" Package, but when i run USBIP afterwards i get the message:
You may need to install the following packages for this specific kernel:
linux-tools-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2
linux-cloud-tools-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2
You may also want to install one of the following packages to keep up to date:
linux-tools-standard-WSL2
linux-cloud-tools-standard-WSL2
How can i install these Packages ? Could'nt find them with apt-get.
CodePudding user response:
Since Docker relies on the features of the Linux kernel, you'll need to make sure that you have the USB/IP module compiled into your WSL kernel. It is not there in the stock WSL kernel, so you'll need to build your own. I haven't done this with USB/IP myself, but there are reports from the Home Assistant (home automation) forums that indicate that it works.
See this answer for more details.
