\"upgrade<\/p>\n

Linux Kernel 5.6 was officially released. Linus Torvalds announced<\/a>:<\/p>\n

So I’ll admit to vacillating between doing this 5.6 release and doing another -rc.<\/p>\n

This has a bit more changes than I’d like, but they are mostly from davem’s networking fixes pulls, and David feels comfy with them. And I looked over the diff, and none of it looks scary. It’s just slightly more than I’d have preferred at this stage – not doesn’t really seem worth delaying a release over.<\/p>\n

So about half the diff from the final week is network driver fixlets, and some minor core networking fixes. Another 20% is tooling – mostly bpf and netfilter selftests (but also some perf work).<\/p>\n

…<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Linux Kernel 5.5 features WireGuard VPN support<\/b>, and a lot of other notable improvements, including initial USB 4<\/b> support, Amazon\u2019s Echo smart speaker, new Intel, AMD, and Arm hardware enablement.<\/p>\n

How to Install Linux Kernel 5.6 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 5.6 are now available for download at the link below:<\/p>\n

Download Kernel 5.6<\/a><\/p>\n

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

    \n
  1. linux-headers-5.6.0-xxxxxx_all.deb<\/li>\n
  2. linux-headers-5.6.0-xxx-generic(\/lowlatency)_xxx_amd64.deb<\/li>\n
  3. linux-modules-5.6.0-xxx-generic(\/lowlatency)_xxx_amd64.deb<\/li>\n
  4. linux-image-xxx-5.6.0-xxx-generic(\/lowlatency)_xxx_amd64.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, or armhf, arm64, etc for other OS types.<\/i><\/p>\n

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

    For 64-bit OS:<\/p>\n

    cd \/tmp\/\r\n\r\nwget -c https:\/\/kernel.ubuntu.com\/~kernel-ppa\/mainline\/v5.6\/linux-headers-5.6.0-050600_5.6.0-050600.202003292333_all.deb\r\n\r\nwget -c https:\/\/kernel.ubuntu.com\/~kernel-ppa\/mainline\/v5.6\/linux-headers-5.6.0-050600-generic_5.6.0-050600.202003292333_amd64.deb\r\n\r\nwget -c https:\/\/kernel.ubuntu.com\/~kernel-ppa\/mainline\/v5.6\/linux-image-unsigned-5.6.0-050600-generic_5.6.0-050600.202003292333_amd64.deb\r\n\r\nwget -c https:\/\/kernel.ubuntu.com\/~kernel-ppa\/mainline\/v5.6\/linux-modules-5.6.0-050600-generic_5.6.0-050600.202003292333_amd64.deb\r\n\r\nsudo dpkg -i *.deb<\/pre>\n
    Once installed, restart your computer and enjoy!<\/p>\n
