I am trying to install usbip on Ubuntu 14.04.2 server. I successfully ran this command:

apt-get install usbip

Next when I am trying to install the driver by running modprobe usbip, I get the following error 

modprobe: FATAL: Module usbip not found.

Any idea how to fix this?

  • Voting to close: Since 14.04, usbip has been added to the Linux kernel. Both the question and answer will mislead users of newer releases of Ubuntu. – user535733 Nov 19 '19 at 20:37

    @user535733 The solution to that problem is for another answer to be posted explaining the current situation (with references if possible). – Eliah Kagan Nov 21 '19 at 02:50

There is no such module like usbip. In recent kernel if compiled with:

CONFIG_USBIP_CORE=m
CONFIG_USBIP_VHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USBIP_HOST=m

You should have usbip-core, usbip-host and vhci-hcd. To set host side please use:

sudo modprobe usbip-core
sudo modprobe usbip-host
sudo usbipd -D

Then you can start binding USB device. If you want to setup client side:

sudo modprobe vhci-hcd

More information you can find on my blog post

    @Bruno: have a look at this answer, there's a bug with Ubuntu and different packages make this work. – Benoit Duffez Feb 02 '17 at 08:37
