[SOLVED] linux-tools-common?

[Seed]

I can't figure out how to install these with the pve repos. Anyone know how I can install these on proxmox?

There's no such package in the debian repos. What binary/library are you looking for? What are you trying to achieve?

linux-tools-common is an ubuntu metapackage. Just install whatever utilities you are actually looking for.

What does this even mean? The utility Im trying to install is part of the tools package.

Im trying to install a utility that somewhat can show how much power or Watts my CPU is using.

And that utility is? I'd use the linux-cpupower package for that. It provides turbostat.

Thank you. That's the one I need.

It means that this package is included in ubuntu distributions. Proxmox uses debian as its parent distribution, not ubuntu. it also means that its not an actual package, its a collection of applications which you can install by yourself, like @Impact suggested.

linux-cpupower is not turbotstat... You even said yourself, tools-common is a "metapackage". I would think then, linux-cpupower is a package that contains the "utility" turbostat... linux-cpupower is installed via the debian "package" manager. So I don't understand what you're saying here.
