The Problem

I'm trying to install this android emulator using snap.

This is what I have done, so far:

Although, I was not able to install kernel modules because whenever I install kernel-devel it has a different version from my kernel. For example:

  • I have this kernel: 5.8.18-200.fc32.x86_64
  • but kernel-devel has this version: 5.9.15-100.fc32.x86_64

And DKMS outputs this:

Your kernel headers for kernel `5.8.18-200.fc32.x86_64` cannot be found at
/lib/modules/5.8.18-200.fc32.x86_64/build or /lib/modules/5.8.18-200.fc32.x86_64/source.

Details

-> In order to install anbox, I used this:

sudo snap install anbox --devmode --beta

-> In order to install kernel-devel, I am using this:

sudo dnf install kernel-devel

-> I have tried to install the correct headers using this command, as recommended in this other question:

sudo yum install "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)"

-> Launching anbox doesn't work, even if I use this recommended command:

anbox launch --package=org.anbox.appmgr --component=org.anbox.appmgr.AppViewActivity

Question Updates

1. Kernel mismatch

I had to update my OS, to get the new kernel. There's no mismatch problem, anymore.

Before @ajgringo619 hint, I was not able to update it because my dnf.conf had an install limit:

installonly_limit=1

This would result in this error:

Error: 
 Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: kernel-core
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

After changing dnf.conf, I was able to update my kernel and solve mismatch issues.

2. Unable to install anbox modules

I'm still unable to install modules. Now, due to modpost error.

  • Until you get the kernel package mismatch fixed, you're probably stuck. Try running `sudo dnf distro-sync`. – ajgringo619 Dec 25 '20 at 22:53

  • This is one of the downsides of distros that run the latest-and-greatest kernels. Have you tried a Ubuntu-based release? At least Anbox supports them. – ajgringo619 Dec 26 '20 at 00:44
  • Are you talking about dropping Fedora and installing Ubuntu? This is something had not considered. – surfboardcompound Dec 26 '20 at 12:05
  • I suggested Ubuntu for (2) reasons: Anbox supports it, and the kernel isn't as new. – ajgringo619 Dec 26 '20 at 17:30
