Not sure which kernel I should be on
>lsb_release -crid
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
I was getting a message that my HWE is no longer supported and that I am not getting security updates for the kernel. So, I followed the directions:
>sudo apt-get install linux-generic-
>uname -a
Linux MachineName1 3.13.0-53-generic #89~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 20 17:42:16 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
>dpkg --list | grep linux-image
ii linux-image-
ii linux-image-
ii linux-image-
ii linux-image-
ii linux-image-
ii linux-image-server 3.2.0.84.98 Linux kernel image on Server Equipment.
This 3.13.0.53 kernel looks older that than the others::
ii linux-image-
ii linux-image-
But upgrading the kernel to the newers doesn't appear to give me HWE support. I'm also confused on the difference between generic-quantal and 3.5.0-54.
I need to reduce the amount of kernels in my /boot partition. Can you please tell me which one of these will give me HWE support and is the latest kernel?
