\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For those who want to install the latest Linux Kernel (6.19.x updated), there’s a new apt repository made for Ubuntu 20.04<\/del>, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12 Bookworm, Debian 13 Trixie.<\/b><\/p>\n

As you may know, Ubuntu has a mainline Kernel PPA<\/a> that keeps building the latest Linux Kernel packages for testing purpose. The most recent packages however do NOT support current Ubuntu 22.04 & 20.04 LTS<\/del> (though fixed now).<\/p>\n

For those who need the latest Kernel for new hardware support or compatibility fixes, there’s now a new repository with all current Ubuntu LTS (24.04 & 22.04) and Debian Stable (Bookworm and Trixie) support.<\/p>\n

It’s maintained by St\u00e9phane Graber<\/a>, Ubuntu core developer and project leader of Linux containers(@lxc), who quit from Canonical last month, after working for the company for 12 years.<\/p>\n

And, he made this repository because Ubuntu\u2019s generic kernel that he thought<\/a>\u00a0has sadly decreased in quality over time.<\/p>\n

The Ubuntu kernel includes a lot of backported fixes and occasionally, those backports go bad, resulting in missing commits, introducing bugs and regressions. Unfortunately the way the Ubuntu kernel is built, tested and published comes with a lot of delays, making fixing such regressions often take weeks if not months<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Install Latest Kernel in Ubuntu via new Repository<\/h3>\n

NOTE 1: This is a trustworthy, but unofficial repository!
\nNOTE 2: Like Ubuntu Mainline Kernel PPA, the kernels are un-signed, you may need to turn off Secure Boot to boot the new kernel.<\/b><\/p>\n

First, open terminal either from start menu or ‘Activities’ overview.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Install the GPG Key<\/h4>\n

When terminal opens, first run command to create ‘\/etc\/apt\/keyrings’ directory, in case it does not exist:<\/p>\n

sudo mkdir -p \/etc\/apt\/keyrings<\/pre>\n
Then, run command to download the key and install to that directory you just created:<\/p>\n
sudo wget -O - https:\/\/pkgs.zabbly.com\/key.asc |sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/keyrings\/zabbly.asc<\/pre>\n
Re-run the command to update the key if expired.<\/i><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
2. Set up the source repository<\/h4>\n
Then, run command below to create & edit the source file:<\/p>\n
sudo gnome-text-editor \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/zabbly-kernel-stable.sources<\/pre>\n
Depends on your desktop environment, replace gnome-text-editor<\/code> with gedit<\/code> for Ubuntu 22.04 and earlier, mousepad<\/code> for XFCE, or use nano<\/code> that works in most desktops<\/i>.<\/p>\n
When terminal opens, add following lines and save it:<\/p>\n
Enabled: yes\r\nTypes: deb deb-src\r\nURIs: https:\/\/pkgs.zabbly.com\/kernel\/stable\r\nSuites: noble\r\nComponents: main\r\nArchitectures: amd64\r\nSigned-By: \/etc\/apt\/keyrings\/zabbly.asc<\/code><\/pre>\n
NOTE: You have to replace noble<\/b> (for 24.04, Linux Mint 22) in the code with<\/p>\n
