“Unknown sequence editconfigs” when trying to build a kernel

favorite












I am following the instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel



I ran



apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
cd linux-signed-4.15.0
chmod a+x debian/rules
chmod a+x debian/scripts/*
chmod a+x debian/scripts/misc/*
fakeroot debian/rules clean
fakeroot debian/rules editconfigs


The output of the last command is



dh editconfigs
dh: Unknown sequence editconfigs (choose from: binary binary-arch binary-indep build build-arch build-indep clean install install-arch install-indep)
debian/rules:35: recipe for target 'editconfigs' failed
make: *** [editconfigs] Error 2


My uname -r is 4.15.0-34-generic.



A possible duplicate is Enable the touchscreen of a Mediacom WinPad W700, but the answer there does not address the "Unknown sequence editconfigs" message. Do the BuildYourOwnKernel instructions need to be updated?

          It seems as if in 18.04 you need to run:



          apt-get source linux-source


          Instead of:



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


          This should fix your problem.

          • Thanks. That downloaded something undesired called linux-meta-4.15.0.34.36 but it got me on the right track. It seems the correct source package is linux-source-4.15.0. Alternatively, sudo apt install linux-source will download that source package to /usr/src.
