I installed Kubuntu 20.04 to my new machine with CPU AMD Ryzen 5 4500U, unfortunately, the GPU failed to function properly to adjust the display lightness.

Friends guided me that the kernel 5.4 released earlier than AMD Ryzen 5, so updating kernel to latest 5.8 might be a decent solution.

I followed the instruction How to Install Linux Kernel 5.8 in Ubuntu

cd /tmp/
wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.8/amd64/linux-headers-5.8.0-050800_5.8.0-050800.202008022230_all.deb
wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.8/amd64/linux-headers-5.8.0-050800-generic_5.8.0-050800.202008022230_amd64.deb
wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.8/amd64/linux-image-unsigned-5.8.0-050800-generic_5.8.0-050800.202008022230_amd64.deb
wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.8/amd64/linux-modules-5.8.0-050800-generic_5.8.0-050800.202008022230_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

However, after restart it report error:

error: /boot/vmlinuz-5.8.0-050800-generic has invalid signature.
error: you need to load the kernel first
Press any key to continue...

I re-installed the kernel 5.8 more than twice, it report such the identical error.

How could solve the problem?

The kernel is not signed. Turning off secure-boot in your bios could help. This could be the same issue.
