Ubuntu – Modprobe fuse returns module fuse not found

fusesshfs

I have ubuntu 12.04 and the kernel version is 2.6.32

 Linux user1 2.6.32-042stab083.2 #1 SMP Fri Nov 8 18:08:40 MSK 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

When i run the command modprobe fuse it says

FATAL: Module fuse not found.

I have run apt-get remove libfuse2 and again installed fuse, libfuse and fuse-utils

But still i get the error Module fuse not found.

First you can try to install module from cache,

apt-cache search fuse

if this doesn't work--- you can install fuse module with module-assistant,

apt-get install module-assistant

apt-get install fuse-source

cd /usr/src

m-a prepare

m-a a-i fuse

depmod -ae $(uname -r)

Now you can,

modprobe fuse

Find all running sshfs processes:

ps -ef | grep sshfs | grep -v grep

Say you've got two of them running:

$ ps -ef | grep sshfs | grep -v grep
root     10906  5170  0 07:14 pts/0    00:00:00 sudo sshfs
root     10907 10906  0 07:14 pts/0    00:00:00 sshfs

Now kill them both or selectively by identifying them by their PID:
```
sudo kill -9 10906 10907
```

sudo umount -l /mnt

Open it as root with your favorite editor, for example
```
sudo atom /etc/fuse.conf
```
Uncomment the user_allow_other line.
Save and close.

sudo sshfs \
-d \
-o allow_other \
-o reconnect \
-o ServerAliveInterval=15 \
user@domain.com:/ /mnt \
-p 12345 \
-C
