Error during installing oneAPI-basekit on WSL2

[xiyu]

Hi,

I got an error as follows while installing intel-basekit on WSL2:

ERROR: kernel source directory "/usr/src/linux-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2" either does not exist or not a valid kernel source directory.......................................] ..] ....]
.]
Please use the following command to install kernel header on Ubuntu:
apt install linux-headers-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2

I tried to apt install linux-headers-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2 and there is another error:

E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Hi Xiangyu, firstly we have to make sure that your OS is supported. You can get your OS version using one of the commands in a terminal window:

# Redhat, Fedora, CentOS and related

more /etc/redhat-release

# Ubuntu, Debian, others

more /etc/lsb-release

For compatibility details, refer to the System Requirements page by visiting here> https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/intel-oneapi-base-toolkit-system-requirements.html

DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=focal
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 20.04 LTS"

Hi sorry I somehow missed your message on Monday. This is my OS information. And I also checked the system requirements. They should be good.

Hi Xiangyu,

Can you share how are you installing the basekit? GUI based installer or apt package? Are you using module files? At what step did you get this error?

Please also check WSL2 system requirements https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install  for windows build. 

Thanks

Anjali

Hi Anjali,

Here is how I installed it, I followed the instructions on Intel website:

wget https://apt.repos.intel.com/intel-gpg-keys/GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB
sudo apt-key add GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB
rm GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://apt.repos.intel.com/oneapi all main"
sudo apt install intel-basekit

After these steps, I tried to install  linux-headers-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2 and the error occurred.

Xiangyu, we had encountered a repository issue internally. Now that has been resolved. Please proceed with the installation again and let us know if you are still encountering the issue.

Thanks!

Should I follow the steps above and redo each step again?
