Here is some more information. I follow the suggestion to I do apt-get source, but am having more problems. Here is the diary:

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...
