![]() ![]() This time the update has arrived earlier – which is great news for those already on the LTS as it means they can benefit from all the new features in Linux 6.2 without having to wait for ISOs (they don’t need) to be released. Typically, HWE updates roll out once the formal point release itself is made. It back-ports the Linux 6.2 kernel used in Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster”. Once you added the links in the source file, save the file and exit – Ctrl+O, hit Enter and Ctrl+X.Ubuntu 22.04 LTS users can now upgrade to Linux kernel 6.2 using the Software Updater tool.Īhead of the formal Ubuntu 22.04.3 point release due next week (August 10) Canonical has issued an updated kernel to existing LTS existing users to install. If you have an older version of Debian, just change the name of the distro version in the backport link. These backports links are for Debian Stretch or Debian version 9.7. When you open the file, add these two backport source links: deb buster-backports main Run the command: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list One way to do it is by using the text editor and editing the file. To add the Debian backports, we need to update our sources list file. The next step is to add the Debian backports. If you don’t have it installed, you can install it by typing in the command: sudo apt install aptitude For this procedure it is also required to have aptitude installed. If you want to install a newer version of the kernel, you can do that as well. Another thing that must be noted is that these kernel version will not be newest ones but they’re supported by Debian on a long term. ![]() Note, when you need to run the install command, instead of flavour command, type in the kernel version and it’s name. You’ll get a list of kernels in the output(see picture bellow). To do that, start the terminal and use these commands: sudo apt-cache search linux-image One way to upgrade the kernel is to upgrade from Debian repositories and to install the kernel which is Debian supported. Process of upgrading Kernel in Debian is mainly focused using terminal. That means we can upgrade Kernel in Ubuntu using commands in terminal or with software like UKUU. Only difference is that Ubuntu doesn’t have a Kernel update utility in it’s software manager like Mint. So, you can just do the same process for Linux Mint on Ubuntu to upgrade the kernel. That means – all the steps and procedures for upgrading the kernel, which we covered for Linux Mint, they also apply for Ubuntu as well. To be precise, Linux Mint is based of Ubuntu. Linux mint and Ubuntu are practically the same OS. Then just select the kernel you want to install and click on the install button. You’ll then get a list of all discovered kernel versions, including the new ones, of course. Utility will first scan for all kernel versions and display it. So, run the terminal and use these commands in order to install the ukuu utiliy: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:teejee2008/ppa Of course, we first need to install the utility. The process of upgrading the kernel using ukuu is also quite simple. It’s a simple tool in which you install, uninstall, upgrade or delete kernels from your system. Ukuu(Ubuntu Kernel update utiliy) is a pretty useful tool. Upgrade Linux Kernel using the update utility UKUU You can check in the system update manager which version of kernel is that. The commands will by default, upgrade kernel to the version which has the longer date of support and which is not in beta. We need to these commands: sudo apt updateĪfter the upgrade is done, restart your PC. You can run it with Ctrl+Alt+T keyboard combination or just search for terminal in the start menu. The process is simple and quite straightforward. ![]() Upgrade Kernel in terminal using command lineĪnother way of upgrading the kernel is with a command line using the terminal. When you run the update manager, in the center of the window will be a list of updates that needs to be done and one of them will be Linux kernel as well. Update manager app by default runs in the system tray, right beside the clock and battery indicator and it will notify you for any new updates, that also includes the Linux kernel update. In the start menu, type in – update manager. You can upgrade the Linux kernel on Linux mint with it’s update manager app. Also, before proceeding with the process, please backup any important data. There’s also a process where you download the Kernel package on your PC and manually install it – that process requires to compile the kernel, but we will cover that some other time since the procedure has many steps to go through. We’ll show you multiple ways how to upgrade the Linux kernel(via system app, third party app and command line). We will first do the process of upgrading the kernel on Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Debian and Debian based distros. In this article we will cover the process how to upgrade Linux kernel on Linux Desktop.
