Error when installing 4.16.4 #69

Closed v1993 closed 6 years ago

v1993 commented 6 years ago

I tried to install fresh 4.16.4 kernel and got error about missing package linux-modules-..., so linux-image-unsigned-... (or something like that) can't be configured.

Did kernel packaging structure changed?

gothicVI commented 6 years ago

If you compare the builds for 4.16.2 or 4.16.3 [1] with 4.16.4 [2] you realize that with the .4 release no images were built but only unsigned images. I don't know why but eventually there's something wrong with the built chain - although the build finished successfully.

This will be fixed in the next update.

Hey - I've posted in another issue, related to this but for those who don't want to wait, they have actually changed the way they are distributing the mainline kernel so almost all advice on the internet is slightly wrong at the moment!

For Ubuntu users, you can do this:

Firstly, to install properly you need the upcoming, but not released linux-base_4.5ubuntu1~16.04.1_all.deb from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-base

You then need to also install the correct modules from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.16.5/

Most likely you need:

linux-headers-4.16.5-041605_4.16.5-041605.201804260630_all.deb linux-headers-4.16.5-041605-generic_4.16.5-041605.201804260630_amd64.deb linux-modules-4.16.5-041605-generic_4.16.5-041605.201804260630_amd64.deb and maybe also linux-image-unsigned-4.16.5-041605-generic_4.16.5-041605.201804260630_amd64.deb

Finally sudo dpkg -i all those .deb files.

For more context on this bug (from a Ubuntu standpoint)

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-base/+bug/1766851

After doing the above I have install success. Ukuu will need to be patched to handle the new kernels!

@teejee2008 - do you have a solution that doesn't rely on Ubuntu pushing the update to linux-base package to work?

SamMorrowDrums commented 6 years ago

Obviously, with the above, I have gave instructions for 4.16.5 - but you might want still want .4 for some reason, so as always with manual kernel installation - don't blindly follow the instructions!

teejee2008 commented 6 years ago

Once Ubuntu releases a new version of linux-base, Ukuu can download and install it along with the rest of the kernel packages. We need to wait till the next release of linux-base.

dc740 commented 6 years ago

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04LTS, with the latest linux-base, and I can confirm I still need to manually download the modules deb to get the kernel working. I'm on 4.17rc3 now.

v1993 commented 6 years ago

It is solved for me, but new problem: package libssl1.1 not found.

peci1 commented 6 years ago

Ukuu 18.5.1 solved this issue for me.

I'm (still) on Trusty, ukuu compiled from source, libssl1.1 was already installed by some other program. Kernel 4.16.11 installed without a problem.

v1993 commented 6 years ago

It is fixed for me, so I close this issue.
