I will preface this by saying: I don't have a lot of experience in a Linux environment. I am trying to install ROCm on WSL2 running Ubuntu. I will be using PyTorch for a class and I want to use my GPU for compute. ROCm installed fine, however, I kept getting the error ROCk module is NOT loaded, possibly no GPU devices. I found this post which indicated that the problem could be that WSL doesn't allow you to install modules. That linked to a comment found here which showed how to install a new kernel. I followed the instructions, but I have run across an error when running make. The error is: No rule to make target '/home//lkm_example.o', needed by '/home//lkm_example.mod'. Stop. (`` is my username, I just didn't want it out here) Through Google, I found several posts saying that I need to install linux-headers. I tried running sudo apt-get install kernel-headers, but that resulted in an error: E: Unable to locate package kernel-headers How do I proceed?
