I use Ubuntu 20.04 running with Kernel version 5.7.0. I want to run older version of Kernel (5.5.0) and so was downloading the packages:

cd /tmp/

wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.5/linux-headers-5.5.0-050500_5.5.0-050500.202001262030_all.deb


wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.5/linux-headers-5.5.0-050500-generic_5.5.0-050500.202001262030_amd64.deb


wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.5/linux-image-unsigned-5.5.0-050500-generic_5.5.0-050500.202001262030_amd64.deb


wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.5/linux-modules-5.5.0-050500-lowlatency_5.5.0-050500.202001262030_amd64.deb


sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Unfortunately I wasn't able to install this kernel version and got some errors with dpkg:

dpkg: error processing package linux-image-unsigned-5.5.0-050500-generic (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Setting up linux-modules-5.5.0-050500-lowlatency (5.5.0-050500.202001262030) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 linux-image-unsigned-5.5.0-050500-generic

Any help please?

Thanks for you answers, sorry but I am very new to Linux! Shall I download only:

wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.5/linux-headers-5.5.0-050500_5.5.0-050500.202001262030_all.deb

wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.5/linux-headers-5.5.0-050500-generic_5.5.0-050500.202001262030_amd64.deb


wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.5/linux-image-unsigned-5.5.0-050500-generic_5.5.0-050500.202001262030_amd64.deb

and then

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

?

You are installing lowlatency modules with a generic kernel.

It won't install this way. You need to download all generic, or lowlatency packages.
