Re: [LUG] Kernel

 

I'd imagine that should be 4.4 or something (I'm on that on Xubuntu 14.04 LTS
You may need to do:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

to get the latest available kernel

Thanks Tom and Paul. I'll have a look at what the current default
kernel is for Ubuntu 17.10.

I agree with the response to this from Tom.  Your distribution should
handle all updates including kernel, kernel-headers and any other
software that depends on your particular build version.

for the record mint 18.3 seems to be using kernel 4.13.0-31-generic.

Hi All

I have just checked my kernel and it is 4.13.0-32-generic

Is it possible to find out whether I need to upgrade please? I am
aware of the spectre and meltdown issues and wondered how I might find
out:
1. If I should upgrade
2. How I do this manually

https://www.kernel.org/

I visited the above and I can see the latest stable kernel is 4.15.4.
Should I upgrade to this please?
