netboot images, are generated by debian-installer "source" package, and then published separately.
The most up to date netboot image, is available from bionic-updates as usual: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer- amd64/ I got the current installer, currently pointed at 20101020ubuntu543.4. Instead there i downloaded: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer-amd64/20101020ubuntu543.4/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz And the permissions look ok to me there: $ less netboot.tar.gz | grep amd64/linux -rw-r--r-- root/root 8277752 2018-12-07 19:31 ./ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux (note I'm using lesspipe) Are you sure you are not affected by like a weird umask? are you unpacking the tarball as a regular user, or root? ** Changed in: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1812258 Title: Bionic amd64 netboot image has incorrect permissions on kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1812258/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
