14.04 Kernel – When Will 4.2.0 Kernel Be Available for 14.04 LTS?

14.04kernel

I wonder when will linux-image-generic-lts-wily be available for Trusty? Are there any ETA?

Best Answer

The approved answer is wrong. The packages are available right now! Just

sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-wily

However note that they will not be officially supported until the 14.04.4 point release is out. Until then they are in the "early preview" phase.

It never will. New kernels arrive at repositories of LTS versions when point releases come out. This is part of the Hardware Enablement Stack.

According to the 14.04.x Ubuntu Kernel Support Schedule, kernel 3.16 (from Ubuntu 14.10) will be available in Ubuntu 14.04.2 (due in Feb, 2015). But you don't have to reinstall your system, once 14.04.2 is out (and probably a few days before) just run the following to install kernel 3.16:

sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-utopic

Ubuntu – The kernel is not the latest for 14.04

Apparently I didn't have the meta package linux-generic installed... A simple

sudo apt-get install linux-generic && sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-346

Did the trick!
Amazing, didn't think I somehow managed to remove that meta-package...

Now I got

ema@scv:~$ uname -a
Linux scv 3.13.0-46-generic #75-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 10 15:24:04 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Result!
