Linux Kernel Update

galiban · Feb 22, 2022

Hi friends.

I am using elementaryOS 5.1.7 Hera in long time.
Kernel; Xanmod Kernel 5.15.

I want upgrade to Offical Linux 5.16/5.17 but i cant.
Is there an easy way to update?

I have AMD CPU and official Linux 5.16 has made significant strides for AMD CPU.

Thanks you.

Up.

Don't bump, if you are running the Xanmod Kernel currently and want to switch over to the default kernel that comes with Elementary is that you have to install the kernel package if it's already installed. Can you share the output of the following by running it in the terminal?

Code:

dpkg --list | grep linux

Bumping your question will not get you any quicker answers, we are not a professional help site, we are all volunteers with differing specialities spread across the 5 continents and every time zone, so you need to have patience until one of us pick up your question.
It is not recommended that you change to the latest kernel until your distribution releases it to their stream, you can manually install any kernel on Ubuntu based distributions, but be warned it could break your installation..

This article shows you how to upgrade to the latest Linux kernel in Ubuntu. There are two methods discussed. One is manually installing a new kernel and the other uses a GUI tool providing even easier way.

I didn't get professional help/answer. I saw it like a normal forum site and stated my problem like a normal member.

Thank you for answer.

Bumping is frowned upon in most forums, so here as well.

It's true.

Can you share the output of the following?

Code:

Then why bump if you know that is true.

When you replied with "Up" to your topic, it's the same as bumping.

Looks like in ElementaryOS repos you don't have access to kernel 5.16. You could try installing the mainline kernel on your system, since Elementary is based on Ubuntu this should work.

Sorry, I thought the word "bump" was something else. My English is not so good.
