Hi all,

I am trying to find a particular old release of liquorix kernel for Ubuntu focal OS. In past, I have used launchpad to success but I am unable to find following files there:

linux-headers-5.15.0-18.1-liquorix-amd64_5.15-22ubuntu1~focal_amd64.deb (11.3 MiB)
linux-image-5.15.0-18.1-liquorix-amd64_5.15-22ubuntu1~focal_amd64.deb (60.7 MiB)

As you can see from the following built page on launchpad, the releases are missing:

https://launchpad.net/~damentz/+archive/ubuntu/liquorix/+build/23106889

I have also looked up the github release section, where most authors usually upload built binaries, but there is only source code of this particular release:

https://github.com/damentz/liquorix-package/releases/tag/5.15-22

I would build them myself if I knew the process. I will really appreciate if someone can share these here, or help me build them.

Regards,
Dan

I searched around this forum and found following instructions

:: Quote ::
git clone --branch=5.15/master https://github.com/damentz/liquorix-package.git
cd liquorix-package/scripts/debian

# generate build ready docker images with your default gpg key and
# download the linux base archive if missing
./docker_bootstrap.sh

# make source package
./docker_build-source.sh ubuntu focal

# build binary packages and store in archive directory
./docker_build-binary.sh amd64 ubuntu focal


I am able to complete ./docker_bootstrap.sh step successfully. But when I execute the "./docker_build-source.sh ubuntu focal", I get following error:

I will really appreciate pointers on how this error could be addressed.

I got around this error by using -uc -us flags inside the build script which had the dpkg-buildpackage line. Basically it lets you proceed with unsigned package instead of error:

Ah yep, sorry for the late response. Those are the right commands to run. The scripts assume you have a default GPG key defined, so manually adding -uc -us works in absence of that.

This reminds me I need to add some documentation so anyone who needs to build a previous version has the ability to do so. I think this is better than carrying around old binaries since the distribution core packages may have changed since the binary was created, and a new one will be more compatible than the old one.

Did this get you a working kernel?

No worries. It actually helped me learn few things :)

I already had a default key configured inside ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf but somehow that was not enough. Took me some time and lot of googling before I narrowed it down. I am building it on a spare VPS which is underpower from the looks of it. It is still compiling (drivers now i think) and I am confident that this will work. Will update once its finished

So after completing first 02 steps, I moved onto the last, i.e. "./docker_build-binary.sh amd64 ubuntu focal". I initially had one running on a VPS which was taking ages, and I couldn't wait, so I decided to do it in parallel on a dedicated server. Shortly after that, VPS one ended up with the following error:

This doesnt make sense as VPS still had 300+GBs spare.

However, the dedicated one continued fine and when I thought I will finally have the packages, it ended up with following unsigned error again:

dpkg-buildpackage: error: failed to sign .dsc file


I thought I had taken care of the unsigned error with -uc -us flags in 2nd step, but I was wrong. As it turns out, the last step also uses the same dpkg-buildpackage, which is inside 'container_build-binary.sh' script, so those flags are needed again. I am in the middle of another build due to this.

During all this time, my ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf had been configured with default-key, without which the first step is impossible to complete. Apparently for last 02 steps, the build scripts expect the secret key of ""Steven Barrett <steven@liquorix.net>": No secret key" instead of whats available.

I was finally able to build the .deb files. Here are all the files:

Edit: The files worked! Thank you Steven for providing us with an amazing kernel <3
