- As of August 08, 2014, certain versions of Ubuntu 12.04 will no longer receive software updates for the kernel. Affected versions include: 12.04.2 HWE, 12.04.3 HWE, and 12.04.4 HWE.
- These instructions are intended specifically and only for updating the kernel in Ubuntu 12.04 in Liquid Web US Central Zone B.
- I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Core Managed Ubuntu 12.04 server, and I’ll be logged in as root.
This process should only be followed if you are running Ubuntu 12.04, and have a kernel in one of the following series: 3.5, 3.8, 3.11.
Use the following command to check your Ubuntu version:
lsb_release -a
The result of the above command should look similar to:
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
Use the following command to check your kernel version:
uname -r
The result of the above command should look similar to:
3.8.0-44-generic
Again, you are affected if your kernel is in one of the following series: 3.5, 3.8, 3.11.
You are NOT affected if your kernel is in one of the following series: 3.2, 3.13.
If your kernel version indicates you are affected, then proceed with the following.
First, you’ll follow a simple best practice: ensuring the list of available packages is up to date before installing anything new.
aptitude -y update
Then it’s a matter of just running one command for installation via aptitude:
aptitude -y install linux-firmware linux-generic-lts-trusty linux-headers-3.13.0-32 linux-headers-3.13.0-32-generic linux-headers-generic-lts-trusty linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic linux-image-generic-lts-trusty
That’s it! You should now be ready to reboot your server. Enter reboot now then hit enter to continue!
reboot now
Log back into your server as root; you should be greeted with a message indicating:
Your Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is supported until April 2017.
Use the following command to check your kernel version:
uname -r
Verify the output shows you are running a 3.13.0-xx-generic kernel (such as ’3.13.0-35-generic’).
3.13.0-35-generic
Once you’ve verified that your server is running the proper kernel, remove unneeded packages by running the following command:
apt-get -y autoremove
