Error downloading kernel

[sekyHC]

Describe the bug
I have tried to install kernel 4.19.6 but all I got out of it is ERROR on all 3 download jobs.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to UKUU
2. Click on the kernel you want to install and click Install
3. Error message: ERROR on download job

Expected behavior
I would expect a better error message or some kind of recovery performed.

How to fix
I did a little digging and found out that you do use http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline
Then I have compared version that UKUU was displaying and the one on the server. It seems that they uploaded a new build, but UKUU was using the cached version.

I fixed it by deleting cache and now everything works.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

System (please complete the following information):

• Linux Distribution Name and Version: Ubuntu 18.04
• Desktop GNOME
• Application Version v18.9

Cleaning the cache doesn't work in Ubuntu 18.10

@sekyHC post at least the error message.
Try running sudo rm -rf /tmp/ukuu* ~/.cache/ukuu* and retry downloading.

[laichiaheng]

I have tried it many times.

[gothicVI]

Have you tried downloading via CLI? That should at least provide an error message.

[laichiaheng]

Yes, I had reported this issue long time ago: #111
Here is my temporary solution: #114

[gothicVI]

Oh, I see. I forgot about that you already reported an issue.
It seems that @teejee2008 has somewhat abandoned this project as there's no reply from him to any issue and also easy pull requests don't get merged.

Isn't there easy way to upgrade kernel in Ubuntu now?

[gothicVI]

I'm running Linux Mint on my machines so I can't answer that. But you can always manually download the .deb files from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and run sudo dpkg -i *.deb which is basically what ukuu does but at the same time avoid all the hassle due to the issues ukuu comes with...

@gothicVI I used GUI and the only error I got was ERROR on all download steps. I took me some a while to figure out the cache was the problem

[gothicVI]

@sekyHC so you managed to solve your issue?

[sekyHC]

@gothicVI yea. I did write that in issue. Maybe I should have made it bold
