/sbin/depmod is supplied by the kmod package, please read my supplied link to understand why it is not being found.

Well unfortunately the surveillance cameras I installed at your house don't seem to be working at the moment to you'll have to post the actual commands that you're using here instead. Please also post the full, exact error message(s). Thanks so much.

You know, this is amazing, I tried using these very same words as my search string, and I found all sorts of good, relevant information.paulstechtips wrote:does kmod come with debian by default
1st hit : https://manpages.debian.org/buster/kmod ... .8.en.html
On my system , it was there by default, at least I don't remember ever installing it, but it is there,
Try:
Code: Select all
$man kmod
Code: Select all
$man depmod
https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?qu ... sion=1.3.0what is depmod and how do i get it
================================
https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?qu ... sion=1.3.0
It is part of the "kmod" package, if you have kmod installed, you have it.
https://wiki.debian.org/depmod
You could have just done a search for that information, Why did you not at least try that ?
Show us how you are typing your commands.
EG:
Code: Select all
$ kmod -V
should tell you the version, . The link H_O_A_S gave you should help, if you read it carefully. I will give a hint though, probably you are not becoming root correctly...or you need to show us more clearly how you are writing your commands, are you using 'sudo' ?
or 'su' ( sudo should work, but I don't have it setup, nor use it so I can not check that)
su - works though, but you need to read the manuals , BEFORE doing anything as root.
If you don't like manuals, then don't use the program, or work as root on your system.
Please Read What we expect you have already Done

Re: debian 10.5 does not let me install vmware tools for som
Just a scientific wild guess, but the OP probably has to set up a kernel module build environment first, so vmware can build its modules. But they have to help us by being more responsive. "It didn't work" isn't going to cut it.
Depmod is a red herring.
