Probably the same issue as https://github.com/teejee2008/ukuu/issues/69

ThoreauHenry commented 6 years ago

The author of Ukuu is in an impossible spot.

The Ubuntu mainline kernel team seems to be run by a bunch of monkeys. First they broke linux-base. Then they segmented off linux-modules into another package. And then they require you to use LibSSL1.1, which NO OS HAS EXCEPT 18.04.

And as of today, all of the Mainline kernels were completely fragged and failed to compile in the first place. We can't expect Ukuu or any other app to be able to keep up with this bullshit. The mainline kernel dev's need to be brought to the wood shed to get this sorted out first. They've basically kneecapped every OS below the 18.04 revision.

teejee2008 commented 6 years ago

Temporary fix:

  1. Install libssl1.1
  2. Update package linux-base with sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-base (make sure xenial-updates is enabled in Software & Updates).
  3. Use Ukuu v18.5.1. It will install linux-modules package while installing kernel.

Same issue here... However I'm glad I finally came across this thread, because I've been jumping through hoops trying to get 4.16.x kernels installed on my VBox machines!

I was cursing the VBox devs and also wondered if the latest Ukuu re4lease was to blame :-)

I guess the safe thing is just wait and see if the Ubuntu crew get their collective act together for the next Kernel point-release?

Cheers,

Mike.
