I recently read that Ubuntu 20.04 has upgraded from kernel 5.13 to 5.15 Although I regularly run: sudo apt update;sudo apt upgrade;sudo apt autoremove;sudo apt clean to keep my system up to date, I was still on 5.4 uname -r 5.4.0-122-generic
I downloaded and ran ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh and was asked if I wanted the latest kernel. After rebooting, I got: uname -r 5.19.0-051900-generic Since that seemed strange (5.19 and not 5.15), I found and ran the following: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-20.04 This installed the expected 5.15. Part of the output was: Setting up linux-generic-hwe-20.04 (5.15.0.43.46~20.04.14) But after rebooting, I'm still on 5.19 - I assume because this is a higher version and the GRUB entry was not removed. 2 questions: 1 - Is it normal that sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade left me with a 5.4 kernel? It has been upgraded over time, but not to 5.13 and 5.15. 2 - Is there a problem having 5.19 instead of the recommended 5.15 and should I uninstall it? -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Claws Mail 3.17.5 - KDE Plasma 5.18.5 - Kubuntu 20.04 _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
