Install / Upgrade to Kernel 3.10.30:

The Ubuntu Kernel Team has build the deb packages which are available in this page.

For command line, you can follow the steps below to install them:

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard to open the terminal. When it opens, run the commands below one by one to download this kernel:
