Why is apt source picking linux-signed-hwe instead of a real kernel?

  • 772

I am running

apt-get source linux-image-4.15.0-60-generic

and get

Picking 'linux-signed-hwe' as source package instead of 'linux-image-4.15.0-60-generic'

And I don't get the real source code. Why does this happen and how do I get the real source?

kernel apt source

  1. Best Answer

    I found the solution. Before

    apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)

    downloaded sources of the current kernel. But since the kernel got signed by Canonical, it stopped as mentioned in the question.

    Now we download kernel source by

    apt-get source linux-image-unsigned-$(uname -r)

    Source

    Note: To be able to download package sources by apt, you need to enable sources in "Software & Updates" application. It is disabled by default.
