The latest Linux Kernel LTS 3.10.30 has been announced today. Greg KH urged all users of this kernel series to upgrade as soon as possible.

Kernel 3.10.30 is a small release which mainly brings some updates drivers, including i915, nouveau, radeon, and mcc, as well as some fixes. For details, see the announcement.

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:
