fahd Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hi folks ... I would like to know how to update the current ubuntu server kernel ver. to the new one. I just gave the following commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade A lot of things were updated except the kernel. Any clue. Thanks in advance.

ianw1974 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Normally nowadays in Debian/Ubuntu land it's: aptitude safe-upgrade or: aptitude full-upgrade What kernel are you running, and then maybe do: aptitude search linux-image if I remember that's the kernels.

scarecrow Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I'm managing two Debian Squeeze (AKA testing) servers. I am always updating them via aptitude safe-upgrade, and the upgrade included the kernel (just the one of them, because the other is using a statically built customized kernel made by OVH). Squeeze is IMHO much better that Ubuntu Server because of its rolling nature- it's quite unlikely to break the system by just safe-upgrading. Actually the only thing that worried me was Squeeze going from old good grub to grub2, but fortunately enough grub-legacy is still in the repos, and it will stay there for a long time.
