What happens if you refresh manually or via terminal?

[InAnimaTe]

I've tried that multiple times as well as reinstalling to no avail :(

[gothicVI]

Try removing ~/.cache/ukuu

[InAnimaTe]

Yep, that worked. I now see up to 4.15.2. Is this a larger issue that should actually be fixed in the code so it doesn't happen again?

[gothicVI]

Yes, it would be nice to understand the underlying issue. Are you usually running the GUI version or are you using the terminal? If it's the latter are you invoking calls as user or as root? I have the feeling it could simply be a rights issue.

[InAnimaTe]

I've always used the UI to interact with Ukuu. When I went to delete the cache, I did need to sudo.

[gothicVI]

So the culprit comes about as follows: whenever you install a new kernel the packages are downloaded not as user but as root since the installation ask for root rights from the very get go and thus the packages as well as eventually the index files belong to root and you'd need sudo in order to delete the folder's content. That should be fixed: no longer download as root since that's a security flaw anyway. Only invoke root rights when it actually comes to the installation.

[InAnimaTe]

I completely agree. Let me know if I can be of help in pushing this forward i.e. testing etc.. Love Ukuu and definitely want to help make it better.

@gothicVI Getting the same issue here where 4.17-rc3 won't show up. Deleting ~/.cache/ukuu has not resolved the problem. I was able to get it to show up for a while, but it disappeared after trying to install it.

[gothicVI]

@c-edw have you additionally tried deleting /tmp/ukuu* together with ~/.cache/ukuu? That sometimes does it for me - although the problem keeps coming back...

@gothicVI I can now see the 4.17-rc3 kernel in the Ukuu GUI, but attempting to install it doesn't work. Looks like it's failing to fetch the kernel headers. Additionally, Ukuu closes when doing some operations such as removing a kernel version, but I believe there's already an issue open for this.

EDIT: Looks like there's not a recent enough verson of libssl-dev?

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-headers-4.17.0-041700rc3-generic:
 linux-headers-4.17.0-041700rc3-generic depends on libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0); however:
  Package libssl1.1 is not installed.

@c-edw that might be related to https://github.com/teejee2008/ukuu/issues/69
