[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1838839] Re: Install of custom kernel fails after recent dkms update
New to the Ubuntu community & issue tracker so apologies if this comment should go elsewhere. I am seeing the same behavior on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS (bionic) after following the procedure for compiling a new kernel at https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/amd64/ch08s06.html. The compile completes successfully but installation fails when running sudo dpkg -i ../linux-image...deb. After adding "set -x" to /etc/kernel/postinst.d/x-grub-legacy-ec2 and /usr/sbin/update-grub-legacy-ec2, it looks like the /usr/sbin/update- grub-legacy-ec2 script is failing in the ucf_update_kernels function.

A workaround that worked for me is to replace the following line in /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms: `exec /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start $inst_kern` with `exec /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start $inst_kern >&2` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to dkms in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838839 Title: Install of custom kernel fails after recent dkms update Status in dkms package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Release: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (xenial) Upgrading dkms from 2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11.6 to 2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11.7 (the "fix" for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dkms/+bug/1827697) breaks installation of custom kernels again, as it undoes the fixes done for bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia- common/+bug/292606 .
