\"upgrade<\/p>\n

The latest stable Linux Kernel 5.1 was released. Linus Torvalds announced<\/a> last night:<\/p>\n

So it’s a bit later in the day than I usually do this, just because I was waffling about the release. Partly because I got some small pull requests today, but mostly just because I wasn’t looking forward to the timing of this upcoming 5.2 merge window.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

On the whole, 5.1 looks very normal with just over 13k commits (plus another 1k+ if you count merges). Which is pretty much our normal size these days. No way to boil that down to a sane shortlog, with work all over.<\/p>\n

…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Linux 5.1 brings many exciting changes including improved support for Intel Fastbook (enabled by default), Intel 22260 WiFi support, new I\/O interface, new ACPI support, Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ support by mainline, and a lot of new hardware support.<\/p>\n

How to Install Linux Kernel 5.1 in Ubuntu:<\/h4>\n
<\/i>
The mainline kernels<\/a> do not include any Ubuntu-provided drivers or patches. They are not supported and are not appropriate for production use<\/div><\/div>\n

The mainline kernel packages for Linux 5.1 are available for download at the link below:<\/p>\n

Download Kernel 5.1<\/a><\/p>\n

Depends on your OS type, download and install the packages in turns:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. linux-headers-5.1.0-xxxxxx_all.deb<\/li>\n
  2. linux-headers-5.1.0-xxx-generic(\/lowlatency)_xxx_amd64(\/i386).deb<\/li>\n
  3. linux-modules-5.1.0-xxx-generic(\/lowlatency)_xxx_amd64(\/i386).deb<\/li>\n
  4. linux-image-xxx-5.1.0-xxx-generic(\/lowlatency)_xxx_amd64(\/i386).deb<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Select generic<\/code> for common system, and lowlatency<\/code> for a low latency system (e.g. for recording audio), amd64<\/code> for 64bit system, i386<\/code> for 32bit system, or armhf, arm64, etc for other OS types.<\/i><\/p>\n

    Alternatively you can download and install the kernel binaries via terminal commands (Ctrl+Alt+T<\/b>):<\/p>\n
