Installing new kernels seems to fail intermittently on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS, resulting in the error shown below.

Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

Ukuu isn't properly installed on Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS. The package isn't installing the .desktop file to usr/share/applications/ or any of the doc/po files at all. A comparison of the file lists between 16.04 and 18.04 can be seen below. This doesn't happen on any other revision of Ubuntu tested.

Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (x64)

They should only happen on application startup.

When installing any new kernel, the install gets as far as determining which kernel is already installed before recursing and doing the same again - opening a new TerminalWindow in the process. This happens infinity.

By default, ukuu doesn't clear it's own cache directory. Perhaps it should?

See 'CACHE_DIR' in 'LinuxKernel.vala'
Directory: /var/cache/ukuu
Might also need to check here: /tmp/ukuu

Whenever the TerminalWindow closes, the 'Booting previous kernels' message appears immediately after - regardless of whether you've just successfully installed a new kernel or not. This is especially annoying when multiple TerminalWindow instances open during the installation process.

This message should only be triggered after a successful kernel install, and after the last TerminalWindow closes and focus is given back to the MainWindow.
