Here is some more information. I follow the suggestion to I do apt-get source, but am having more problems. Here is the diary:
=================================================================================================== Start with fresh provision of Ubuntu 18.02 on Linode VPS Following performed first on system console apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get upgrade Uncommended all instances of deb-src rebooted machine System booted up, apt-get install ssh Added user account with sudo access to root As user, run ssh-keygen and then install public key for my workstation Confirm Ubuntu and Kernel version before doing anything maallyn@li1004-144:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic maallyn@li1004-144:~$ uname -a Linux li1004-144 4.15.0-128-generic #131-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 9 06:57:35 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Now with user account enabled root via sudo sudo apt-get install build-essential following procedure in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel sudo apt-get build-dep linux linux-image-$(uname -r) (observed, but saw no errors) sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev flex bison openssl libssl-dev dkms libelf-dev libudev-dev libpci-dev libiberty-dev autoconf fakeroot (Please note that I had to add fakeroot, which is used but not mentioned in the procedure. This command was run as the user; not root. However, even though it appeared to execute okay, I notice there was no source code in the resulting tar file. Googling around, I find that with 18.04, we need to do: apt-get source linux-source as the user (not root) Output of that command is: ====================================================== maallyn@li1004-144:~$ apt-get source linux-source Reading package lists... Done Picking 'linux-meta' as source package instead of 'linux-source' NOTICE: 'linux-meta' packaging is maintained in the 'Git' version control system at: git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+git/bionic Please use: git clone git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+git/bionic to retrieve the latest (possibly unreleased) updates to the package.

If I do a find from the top, I get the following: ========================================================= maallyn@li1004-144:~/bionic$ find . . ./.git ./.git/index ./.git/hooks ./.git/hooks/applypatch-msg.sample ./.git/hooks/post-update.sample ./.git/hooks/pre-applypatch.sample ./.git/hooks/commit-msg.sample ./.git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg.sample ./.git/hooks/pre-rebase.sample ./.git/hooks/pre-commit.sample ./.git/hooks/pre-push.sample ./.git/hooks/fsmonitor-watchman.sample ./.git/hooks/update.sample ./.git/hooks/pre-receive.sample ./.git/branches ./.git/description ./.git/objects ./.git/objects/pack ./.git/objects/pack/pack-1929ba54decacfff807309c467430129b87b4ad4.pack ./.git/objects/pack/pack-1929ba54decacfff807309c467430129b87b4ad4.idx ./.git/objects/info ./.git/info ./.git/info/exclude ./.git/refs ./.git/refs/tags ./.git/refs/remotes ./.git/refs/remotes/origin ./.git/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD ./.git/refs/heads ./.git/refs/heads/master ./.git/HEAD ./.git/packed-refs ./.git/logs ./.git/logs/refs ./.git/logs/refs/remotes ./.git/logs/refs/remotes/origin ./.git/logs/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD ./.git/logs/refs/heads ./.git/logs/refs/heads/master ./.git/logs/HEAD ./.git/config ./update-version ./debian ./debian/scripts ./debian/scripts/misc ./debian/scripts/misc/git-ubuntu-log ./debian/compat ./debian/source ./debian/source/options ./debian/source/format ./debian/dkms-versions ./debian/changelog ./debian/rules ./debian/control.d ./debian/control.d/transitionals-hwe-edge ./debian/control.d/powerpc64-emb ./debian/control.d/signed-lowlatency ./debian/control.d/generic ./debian/control.d/generic-lpae ./debian/control.d/lowlatency ./debian/control.d/virtual ./debian/control.d/transitionals-hwe ./debian/control.d/powerpc-smp ./debian/control.d/signed-generic ./debian/control.d/powerpc-e500mc ./debian/control.d/powerpc64-smp ./debian/copyright ./debian/control.common =========================================================================== I am following the procedure in case this is okay. I am not doing the git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-bionic.git command chmod a+x debian/rules chmod a+x debian/scripts/* chmod a+x debian/scripts/misc/* LANG=C fakeroot debian/rules clean However, when I try to do: LANG=C fakeroot debian/rules editconfigs I get the following error: maallyn@li1004-144:~/bionic$ LANG=C fakeroot debian/rules editconfigs make: *** No rule to make target 'editconfigs'. Stop. maallyn@li1004-144:~/bionic$ So, I am stuck. This method (using apt-get source) did not get me as far as using the git clone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1909687 Title: Cannot compile kernel using procedure at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1909687/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
