Kernel 4.1.2 Upgrade on Ubuntu 64x

 Kernel 4.1.2 Upgrade on Ubuntu 64x

Today I'm going to show you guys how to upgrade to the latest stable 4.1.2 Linux Kernel so you can get all the bells and whistles that come along with it. Make sure to keep your old kernel just in case you don't like this one or something goes wacky you can always boot back in and then remove 4.1.2. I have made a .tar of the original .deb downloads to hep you guys speed up the install and uploaded it for you.

Download

linux-kernel-4.1.2-x86_64.tar

 1. First we will check our installed kernels using this command  
   
 dpkg --list | grep linux-image  
   
   
 2. Then we will download all the .deb packages we need to get started  
   
   
 linux-kernel-4.1.2-x86_64.tar  
 Download File  
   
   
 3. Extract the files using the command below  
   
 tar -zxvf linux-kernel-4.1.2-x86_64.tar.gz  
   
   
   
 4. Now lets install the kernel shall we?  
   
 sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.1*.deb linux-image-4.1*.deb  
   
   
   
 5. So what if you want to remove the kernel for what ever reason? It's cool just run the command below  
   
 sudo apt-get remove linux-header-4.1* linux-image-4.1*
