I recently updated/upgraded 22.04, and it broke my nvidia driver. It took me a couple of days to get an nvidia driver working. And that is using 5.15.0-69-generic. The newest kernels (6 . . .) don't even have header files. I think I can download them using sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname-r) but the nvidia driver I was using no longer worked in the two 6... kernels.

So, I would like to specify the 5.15 ... kernel, rather than manually choosing it from grub.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks, Tim

You can follow this asnwer

Installing the latest kernel. you can use an automated script to install the latest kernel:

Install the shell script which automatically checks and install the latest kernel:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh/master/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh
sudo install ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh /usr/local/bin/

Run the shell script:

sudo ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh -c

Install the latest stable kernel:

sudo ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh -i

Press Y to accept the installation.

Reboot to boot into the latest kernel:

sudo reboot

for the future, if you'd like to recheck and reinstall the latest stable kernel, you can simply run:

sudo ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh -i
