usbip-utils 2.0 on Ubuntu

Ubuntu 15.10 contains usbip package too old to work with usbip v2.0 server (e.g. latest raspbian on RasPI) so you need to compile usbip tool from kernel sources.

UPDATE 19. 04. 2016:

You don’t need to go through compiling from source. You may just install package linux-tools-generic:

$ apt-get install linux-tools-generic

This will install precompiled usbip tools into /usr/lib/linux-tools/`uname -r`/:

$ /usr/lib/linux-tools/4.2.0-35-generic/usbip version
usbip (usbip-utils 2.0)
