Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Could someone please post some more information on this one ?

Thanks.

I suspect you don't have the kernel headers for your running kernel installed.

Do you actually have the "linux-headers-4.3.0-040300rc4-lowlatency" package (or whatever package providing those headers in Ubuntu) installed on your system ?

Could you give me the output of "sudo apt-config dump | grep Recommends" ?

[Raphaël Halimi (raph)]

- I suspect the user simply didn't have the kernel headers installed (DKMSBuildLog.txt)
- No update from user since the bug was reported (more than two years ago)
- No update from anyone else either
