I upgraded my Ubuntu 16.04 64bit machine to 18.04 but when I do a uname -sr it shows the old kernel of 4.4.127-0404127 #201804081036



I know the kernel should be 4.15 how can I fix this so the kernel gets upgraded corectly?

  • This is odd. The current kernel in 16.04 is 4.4.0-122-generic. You need to post more info about the hardware in question, the output of uname -a, then may be, we can help.

I ran the command below to unhold the kernel but it didn't work.



sudo apt-mark unhold linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic


But when I ran the command below it download and upgraded my kernel.



sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt install linux-image-generic


And to check it I used



uname -sr


Linux 4.15.0-20-generic



Success.



On a side note everything was really slow I also had some old KDE files that were causing problems and had to run



balooctl disable


For more information about it here's a link



permanently disable the baloo file indexer
