![]() Hope you found this useful, leave us a comment below. You should now see like this: 5.0.0-23-generic If this is on a server, when you ssh in you should see the following messages if you did not change the default login message: Welcome to Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.0.0-23-generic x86_64)Īnd Your Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is supported until April 2023.Īt any rate, you can verify your kernel version via command line again like so: uname -r Ok, the installer wen’t well, you rebooted and things look normal. On Servers sudo apt-get install -install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 Verifying On Desktops or Laptops sudo apt-get install -install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04 The above output shows that you are running ubuntu 18.04.3 but this does not mean that you have hwe on your machine so lets run the installer to ensure we have hwe installed as well as upgrade to the latest Kernel. You should see something like this: Distributor ID: Ubuntu You should see something like this: 4.15.0-55-generic Check your Ubuntu Version These newer enablement stacks are meant for desktop and server and even recommended for cloud or virtual images. These enablement stacks can be installed manually but are also available when installing with Ubuntu LTS point release media. ![]() The Ubuntu LTS enablement (also called HWE or Hardware Enablement) stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing Ubuntu LTS releases. Since 12.04, there is no difference in kernel between Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server since linux-image-server is merged into linux-image-generic. Before 12.04, Ubuntu server installs a server-optimized kernel by default. ![]() To get this new update you will need to have 18.04.02 installed with the “hardware enablement” (HWE) stack. The repositories and software versions is identical. The reason they don’t touch your Kernel is because it could cause issues and many corporations run ubuntu as either their server os or desktop/laptop os or both and they can risk breaking things for their customers/users. Canonical is not doing this for you in the update/upgrade path you would normally take. You will only get this if you do one of two things, do a fresh install of 18.04.03 or manually update the Kernel. Canonical just released 18.04.03 that has Kernel 5.0 which brings hardware support as well as performance boosts.
