I installed Xubuntu after Ubuntu, running in dualboot. So Xubuntu controls the grub. Every time I update kernel on Ubuntu - will Ubuntu load the latest version of a kernel? (I mean the grub is not updated, it may be updated by Xubuntu. And I don't want to write the grub to MBR from Ubuntu)
I can't find information which is latest kernel version for trusty, but mine is 3.13.0-24-generic
To check what kernel version you are running; $ uname -r
As your grub controlled by Xubuntu, you should update the grub by typing;
sudo update-grub
make sure to run this command on Xubuntu as it is the one who control the grub
Also note, when you do $ sudo update-grub it will automatically detect present kernel versions on both partitions and update the grub accordingly.
You can check it at
online: https://www.kernel.org/
Or you can add linus torvalds to your google plus: +LinusTorvalds
directly from git: https://github.com/torvalds/linux
at google+ he occasionally cries, gets angry and falls on their updates
uname -a
check your kernel version form the above command and go to www.kernel.org see what the latest.
Well, I solved my trouble.
Here you can check latest version of kernel for Ubuntu
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux
I checked it, and installed the package linux-generic-lts-trusty. Then rebooted, then entered uname -r in terminal - the version was the same. The problem wasn't solved. So I installed grub-customizer and wrote GRUB to MBR. After another reboot I have the latest kernel.
There are two ways to do this
1.
first of all know your current version by typing following command in terminal
uname -r
then check on this link to know that your running system is the latest one available in market
2. You can also if you are not running a LTS version you will be prompted that a new version is available.
If both methods do not satisfy you read this How do I upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu?
