Ubuntu – Ubuntu 16.04 and kernel 4.15

16.04kernelupgrade

I run a cuple of virtual ubuntu servers and some of them have kernel 4.15 running while others have only 4.13 running.

On all of my servers I do regularly

apt update
apt upgrade
apt dist-upgrade

How can I upgrade all of them to kernel 4.15?

I found the difference. I had to enable the Ubuntu LTS enablement (also called HWE or Hardware Enablement) stacks.

The 16.04 HWE Stacks will follow a new Rolling Update Model as documented at the following location:

apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04
