Still on previous 4.15 kernel after apt upgrade to 18.04.2












3















TL;DR



I can't force my ubuntu server, after upgrading to 18.04.2 from 18.04.1, to upgrade the kernel to corresponding 4.18 version.



Historical background



Yesterday I run



sudo apt upgrade


and had a conflict on one of the minor files (I think it was /etc/issue.net). Unfortunately, during solving that conflict I accidentally turned off putty... When I logged back in I had a lock on the apt database. I restarted my server and executed



sudo dpkg --configure -a


Then sudo apt upgrade went fine. After I restarted my server I saw, in the welcome message, that my system got updated but the kernel is still in 4.15 version.

          You can upgrade kernel and keep it getting upgraded to future point Ubuntu releases by running



          sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-18.04


          As for now it will install the 4.18 kernel.

            I think you should be happy to stay with the 4.15 kernel series

            If you install with 18.04 or 18.04.1 media and then upgrade, you will
            stay on the GA kernel and Xorg series. If you install with
            18.04.2 or later media, you'll be on the rolling HWE kernel and X series.



            ... Adam




            If you really want to upgrade to the new kernel series, you have to upgrade the hardware enablement stack, and it is risky. You should definitely not do it without a complete backup, so that you can easily(?) restore the system if the upgrade went wrong.
