Linux Lite Forums

It's great to see all these new kernels coming down through Install Updates. Makes me feel like my system is stronger for it.

Noticed there was a generic update this morning.

Linuxlite 3.2x64 is running great.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that when I decide to advance to the newer series. I and local people I've helped with Linux Lite are on the 2.x series. For now, I just remind myself to run "sudo apt-get install linux-generic," and I've told the others to set a monthly reminder to do the same.

I get the updates but noticed something funny during the last update...

But notice the output of the following commands:

Code:
boys@TRCD-LL_Boys:~$ uname -r

4.8.0-linuxlite

boys@TRCD-LL_Boys:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-generic

linux-generic is already the newest version (4.4.0.53.56).

I've upgraded the kernel to 4.8 a while back - the "updates" are updating the 4.4 kernel. I have multiple kernels 4.4.53, 4.7 and 4.8. (I cleaned up the other prior 4.4's so only 4.4.53 remains.. )

Just curious if the auto updater updates the base or current kernel. Maybe this is normal functionality??

Normal on the mini with 4.4..?

Heres the Kangaroo w/ 4.7..
