short question:
While running the install.sh Skript for Paragon UFSD drivers I get the Error message:
ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing."$ Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \ How can I run "make oldconfig && make prepare" and does that make sense?
Disclaimer:
I know this question was asked in context of NVIDIA driver, but it was answered by suggesting other ways to install NVIDIA not telling how to run the make command (Installing NVIDIA Driver: Error Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."). In another question the problem was solved but the person who asked can not remember how ("ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid").
Context for my question:
I am trying now for several days to install the Paragon-147-PRE_NTFS_Linux_9.4_Pro UFSD drivers for full read&write NTFS and HFS+ filesystem support. The drivers officially support Ubuntu 16.04LTS. After crunching my old Linux installation I use a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.2LTS (downloaded from the UBUNTU website) with nothing but the standard installation, though I run it on a triple boot system (Windows7, elementary, Ubuntu) if that matters.
I installed the build-essentials, dkms and linux-headers:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo install dkms sudo apt-get install linux-generic sudo apt-get install linux-signed-generic uname -a Linux notebook 4.8.0-39-generic #42~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 20 15:06:07 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux As far as I know I match all requirements (hardware and installed software) listed in the paragon manual ():

Reinstall Linux Headers or copy the file
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) sudo cp /usr/src/linux-headers-5.8.0-43-generic/include/generated/autoconf.h /usr/src/linux-headers-5.8.0-44-generic/include/generated/ sudo apt install --reinstall build-essential sudo apt install --reinstall dkms sudo apt install --reinstall linux-generic sudo apt install --reinstall linux-signed-generic I just want to share how I solved my problem regarding the installation of Paragon Professional UFSD drivers for HFS+ and NTFS in case anybody else run into similar problems.
I created a support Ticket at Paragon and got a new build that supports Ubuntu 16.4.2lts with 4.8 kernel.
No need to run make oldconfig etc...
But be aware, you still need to install the build-essentials, dkms and source code (headers):
sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get install dkms sudo apt-get install linux-generic sudo apt-get install linux-signed-generic good luck Olaf
Antonio Petricca maintains a patch for newer kernels for Paragon's ufsd on GitHub:
From the README:
Goals
The goal of this project is to support kernels 4.13 and newers.
How to build
The apply-patches script downloads the free limited version of the driver, then patches it to work on newer kernel releases.
./apply-patches cd sources ./configure make driver sudo make driver_install At the time of writing this answer, up to kernel 4.20 is supported, which is good enough to cover even the upcoming Ubuntu Disco Dingo.
Recently I've upgraded Ubuntu from 19.04 to 19.10. Yesterday I realized that the Paragon-ufsd_driver_Retail_APFS_lke_9.6.10 driver that worked great on ubuntu 19.04,on the 19.10 (kernel 5.3.0-21-generic) does not work anymore. At this point,I tried to reinstall it,like this :
root@ziomario-Z390-AORUS-PRO:/home/ziomario/Scaricati/Paragon-ufsd_driver_Retail_APFS_lke_9.6.10# ./install.sh
By installing this software you accept the terms of End User License Agreement listed in License file.
Continue installing? [yes/no/read].
yes
Current kernel version is out of supported range. Proceed at your own risk? [Yes/no]
yes
Searching and removing previously installed UFSD driver in /lib/modules/5.3.0-21-generic/
Would you like UFSD driver to rebuild after kernel updates? [yes/no] yes
Setting DKMS configuration
Preparing to install
ERROR (dkms apport): binary package for paragon-uapfs: head not found Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.3.0-21-generic (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/paragon-uapfs/head/build/make.log for more information. Error: Can't prepare driver configuration
let's give a look at the make.log file :
echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
echo >&2 " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \
echo >&2 ; \
/bin/false)
I think that the Antonios Petriccas patches could help me,but his repo does not work anymore ! If u try to open the link you will get a nice error 404.
