When updating/upgrading I used to get kernel updates once in a while. Now I haven't got any kernel updates since December.
I only put 0ad 0.23 on hold ( since I have 0.25 as a snap, and they both have different mods so I want both versions ).
Does anyone have an idea what is causing apt/apt-get/aptitude not to get newer kernels? I had a problem with Plymouth that messed with installing new software, but that is solved now. enter link description hereI can update and (un)install software/drivers now, no problem. Only I'm still on the 5.11.0-41 kernel ( Kubuntu 20.04.2 ). It's not a very big deal ( since the newer kernels will not support my fingerprint reader either ), but since everything else is up to date ...
Any ideas please, what could be the cause.

I ran apt policy linux-image and sudo apt policy linux-image:

patrick@Lappy:~$ apt policy linux-image     
linux-image:           
  Geïnstalleerd: (geen)      
  Kandidaat:     (geen)     
  Versietabel:
patrick@Lappy:~$

( Installed: none Candidate: none Versiontable:- ) Although I put my systemsetting to English-American the output is in Dutch. Did sign out and sign in again, like it said. Sorry for that.
Took a screenshot of mainline. See pictureenter image description here.
I already looked at these posts:enter link description hereand enter link description here. The new kernel it wants to install is 5.4.0-99-generic. Seems odd to me, while I'm on 5.11.0-41right now to install a 5.4.0-99 kernel. This installation (Kubuntu 20.04.2) standard came with 5.8.0-27 if I remember it right. To me this raises more questions than answers.
Does the uninstall of kernel 5.11.0-43 have anything to do with it? (it kernelpaniced so I uninstalled this one , and if yes, where can I find this history/log?)

Proper meta packages are not installed for some reason.

Run

sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-20.04

and you'll get kernel upgrades.
