firenice03 is probably correct on the linux-generic command.  It may only update within a series instead of upgrading or changing to another series.  What he listed should get you to 3.13 or 4.4, depending on what you want.  Version 3.19 is at "end of life" this month, so you do have to make a move if you want to stay on a supported kernel.

I concur with the suggestion to create a Systemback restore point ahead of time.

You cannot upgrade from 3.19 to 4.4 directly as far as I know. You will have to install it new from the LL 3.0 iso. Your 3.19 kernel looks up to date, and cannot be upgraded, so do not update, other than ubuntu security if any are available that will install. If not? Ignore.

Using the commands I listed; on my LL2.8 I have upgraded the kernel from 3.19(or earlier) to 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6.. Its a 64-bit.. (Listed in the thread I posted)..

Doesn't the command
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install linux-generic only update that version or series of kernel??
- I don't know, I'm just asking...

Three things:

1) You could use the terminal command I listed earlier.

2) You could install/upgrade/reinstall linux-generic using Synaptic Package Manager.

3) In Synaptic Package Manager (ie Install/Remove Software), you need to click on Reload first.  Then Installed (upgradeable) in the left pane.  If nothing there, just do Reload, Mark All Upgrades, and Apply.

Again I wouldn't use the Gnome Manger to update...

You will use terminal to run the commands..
I would make a SystemBack backup for the just in case...

For 3.13
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-3.13.0 linux-image-linuxlite-3.13.0 -y
For 4.4
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-4.4.0 linux-image-linuxlite-4.4.0 -y

liamjake05,

I cannot see your snapshot from my work PC.  But on the issue of your kernel, I saw this path coming when LL released version 2.8 with the kernel you're on.  I stayed with kernel 3.13 since I wasn't installing a fresh copy of 2.8, but merely upgrading to 2.8 from 2.6.

At this point, you can either use Install/Remove Software to install 3.13, which is supported until April 2019, or you can upgrade from 3.19 to 4.4, which is also supported until April 2019.

You may be able to upgrade to 4.4 using the following code or by opening Install/Remove Software, and clicking on Installed (upgradeable), in the left pane, as seen in the manual here:  https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/software.html#heldpack.

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install linux-generic

The command that you gave me got me the results above. The question is, shall I hit update or Ignore it? And no, The LL updater does not show me this.
Kernel 3.19...
I wouldn't use the Gnome updater to update - especially the kernel... But this is me; others may advise.
I'd wait for those that can speak to the LL kernel whether an update is required... Upside it is fairly easy to update the kernel should you need to...

Does LL update manager give a similar?

But an idea - - What kernel version are you running? Can be found with:"
Code: [Select]
uname -a
Looks like 3.16/3.19/4.2 expire this month..??.. As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Support

Now with that... LL I believe uses a custom kernel so not 100% if follows similar paths..

Hope it helps point in the right direction...

Updated:
Oh, and as the image says https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1404_HWE_EOL
The kernel has been EOL'd.
