usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check -human-readableĪpt-get remove $(hwe-support-status -show-all-unsupported) Your Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is supported until April 2019. Reboot the machine and check the ‘hwe-support-status –verbose’ again, and there should be a response that your system is once again supported for the full LTS life.
#Ubuntu 14.04.2 linux kernel install
You can also use apt-get install -install-recommends `hwe-support-status -show-replacements` -y The Ubuntu page lists the following command to bring a 14.04 server up to the proper kernel level: apt-get install -install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenial To check if your system is affected, start with: hwe-support-status -verbose An an example, updating 14.04.5 to the v4.4 kernel does not mean that you will be forced into Systemd (which was not introduced until 15.04). And remember, upgrading the kernel is not the same as upgrading the Ubuntu distribution. The good news is that this is not difficult, and can be done with a standard apt-get.

#Ubuntu 14.04.2 linux kernel update
If you want to maintain support of a newer Ubuntu point release, you must update the kernel (server) and graphics stacks (if applicable), in order to maintain support until the 5-year EOL date of the LTS. Referring to the support schedule above as an example, you can see that 14.04.3 was released with the Wily 15.04 Vivid HWE stack, and only supported for 12 months before requiring an upgrade to 14.04.5 and the Xenial 16.04 HWE. The reason why is that subsequent point releases ship with an updated kernel and X stack that require upgrade in order to maintain support. WARNING: Security updates for your current Hardware Enablement Stack ended on :Īlthough the first point releases of an Ubuntu version 12.04.0 and 12.04.1, 14.04.0 and 14.04.1, and 16.04.0 and 16.04.1 maintain support of their kernel version until the standard 5 year End-Of-Life for that long-term release (LTS), subsequent point releases do not hold the same schedule. If you installed (or upgraded to) a later Ubuntu point release: >= 12.04.2, >=14.04.2, or >=16.04.2, you may now be wondering why the system is warning you upon every login that you will no longer receive security updates.
