Instead of Linus, Greg KH announced the new 4.19 release and <a href=\"https:\/\/lkml.org\/lkml\/2018\/10\/22\/184\" target=\"_blank\">wrote lots of words<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>While it was not the largest kernel release every by number of commits, it was larger than the last 3 releases, which is a non-trivial thing to do.  After the original -rc1 bumps, things settled down on the code side and it looks like stuff came nicely together to make a solid kernel for everyone to use for a while.  And given that this is going to be one of the &#8220;Long Term&#8221; kernels I end up maintaining for a few years, that&#8217;s good news for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>A small trickle of good bugfixes came in this week, showing that waiting an extra week was a wise choice.  However odds are that linux-next is just bursting so the next -rc1 merge window is going to be bigger than &#8220;normal&#8221;, if there is such a thing as &#8220;normal&#8221; for our rate of development.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of development, there&#8217;s that other thing that happened this release cycle, that ended up making it such that I&#8217;m the one writing this instead of Linus.  Allow me the guilty pleasure of taking a few minutes to talk about that&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What&#8217;s New in Kernel 4.19 (via omgubuntu.co.uk):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An alternate mode driver for USB Type-C\/DisplayPort Type-C support<\/li>\n<li>Better support for Intel\u2019s Low Power Subsystem (LPSS)<\/li>\n<li>Support for Qualcomm Adreno 600 series hardware<\/li>\n<li>Initial support for Intel Icelake graphics<\/li>\n<li>Armada atomic mode-setting<\/li>\n<li>Ongoing DRM improvements<\/li>\n<li>x86 KVM improvements<\/li>\n<li>In-kernel GPS subsystem<\/li>\n<li>General touchscreen improvements<\/li>\n<li>Initial support for the 802.11ax WLAN<\/li>\n<li>Various Filesystem improvements<\/li>\n<li>Obligatory Linux power management tweaks<\/li>\n<li>Continued Y2038 prep<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>How to Install Linux Kernel 4.19 in Ubuntu:<\/h4>\n<p>There are a few third-party tools, e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/index.php\/2018\/08\/uktool-tool-to-install-latest-kernels-ubuntu\/\" target=\"_blank\">UKTools<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/index.php\/2017\/02\/ukuu-install-latest-kernels-ubuntu-linux-mint\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ukuu<\/a>, make it easy to install the latest Kernel in Ubuntu.<\/p>\n<p>You can also manually download the Kernel 4.19 Ubuntu binary packages at:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href='http:\/\/kernel.ubuntu.com\/~kernel-ppa\/mainline\/v4.19\/' class='arconix-button-flat arconix-button-large arconix-button-tan' target=\"_blank\" >Download Kernel 4.19<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Depends on your OS type, download and install the packages in turns:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>linux-headers-4.19.0-xxxxxx_all.deb<\/li>\n<li>linux-headers-4.19.0-xxx-generic(\/lowlatency)_xxx_amd64(\/i386).deb<\/li>\n<li>linux-modules-4.19.0-xxx-generic(\/lowlatency)_xxx_amd64(\/i386).deb<\/li>\n<li>linux-image-xxx-4.19.0-xxx-generic(\/lowlatency)_xxx_amd64(\/i386).deb<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><i>Select <code>generic<\/code> for common system, and <code>lowlatency<\/code> for a low latency system (e.g. for recording audio), <code>amd64<\/code> for 64bit system, <code>i386<\/code> for 32bit system, or armhf, arm64, etc for other OS types.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Also you can download and install the kernel binaries via terminal commands:<\/p>\n<p>For 64-bit OS:<\/p>\n<pre style=\"border:none;\">cd \/tmp\/\r\n\r\nwget -c http:\/\/kernel.ubuntu.com\/~kernel-ppa\/mainline\/v4.19\/linux-headers-4.19.0-041900_4.19.0-041900.201810221809_all.deb\r\n\r\nwget -c http:\/\/kernel.ubuntu.com\/~kernel-ppa\/mainline\/v4.19\/linux-headers-4.19.0-041900-generic_4.19.0-041900.201810221809_amd64.deb\r\n\r\nwget -c http:\/\/kernel.ubuntu.com\/~kernel-ppa\/mainline\/v4.19\/linux-image-unsigned-4.19.0-041900-generic_4.19.0-041900.201810221809_amd64.deb\r\n\r\nwget -c http:\/\/kernel.ubuntu.com\/~kernel-ppa\/mainline\/v4.19\/linux-modules-4.19.0-041900-generic_4.19.0-041900.201810221809_amd64.deb\r\n\r\nsudo dpkg -i *.deb<\/pre>\n<p>for 32-bit OS:<\/p>\n<pre style=\"border:none;\">cd \/tmp\/\r\n\r\nwget -c http:\/\/kernel.ubuntu.com\/~kernel-ppa\/mainline\/v4.19\/linux-headers-4.19.0-041900_4.19.0-041900.201810221809_all.deb\r\n\r\nwget -c http:\/\/kernel.ubuntu.com\/~kernel-ppa\/mainline\/v4.19\/linux-headers-4.19.0-041900-generic_4.19.0-041900.201810221809_i386.deb\r\n\r\nwget -c http:\/\/kernel.ubuntu.com\/~kernel-ppa\/mainline\/v4.19\/linux-image-4.19.0-041900-generic_4.19.0-041900.201810221809_i386.deb\r\n\r\nwget -c http:\/\/kernel.ubuntu.com\/~kernel-ppa\/mainline\/v4.19\/linux-modules-4.19.0-041900-generic_4.19.0-041900.201810221809_i386.deb\r\n\r\nsudo dpkg -i *.deb<\/pre>\n<p>Once installed, restart your computer and enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><b>Uninstall Linux Kernel 4.19:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Restart your machine and select boot with the previous kernel in boot menu \u2018Grub2 -> Advanced Option for Ubuntu\u2019.
