I hope the 4.15 kernel is out soon.

My PC got bricked by the Intel related updates to the Kernel.

How do I upgrade to Ubuntu's latest mainline (stable) kernel version 4.14.13?

THIS DOESN'T WORK:

wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.14.13/linux-headers-4.14.13-041413_4.14.13-041413.201801101001_all.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.14.13/linux-headers-4.14.13-041413-generic_4.14.13-041413.201801101001_amd64.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.14.13/linux-image-4.14.13-041413-generic_4.14.13-041413.201801101001_amd64.deb

Step 2: After successfully downloading install it

sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.14.13-* linux-image-4.14.13-* .deb

Step 3: Verify installed Version

    You do understand those mainline kernels are non - standard, intended for testing only, and unsupported ? – Panther Jan 14 '18 at 02:42
  • "Doesn't work" is not an error description. – psusi Jan 14 '18 at 03:09
  • Could you please add a little more detail? What *exactly* did you do, what did you expect to happen and what happened instead? Did you encounter any warning or error messages? Please reproduce them *in their entirety* in your question. You can select, copy and paste terminal content and most dialogue messages in Ubuntu. Please **[edit]** your post to add information instead of posting a comment. (see [How do I ask a good question?](/help/how-to-ask)) – David Foerster Jan 14 '18 at 11:46
  • Voting to Reopen. I think the question is pretty clear. OP needs a fix for a broken Intel feature. The fix is only available in Kernel `4.14.13` and OP wants to install it. This could be a duplicate of many questions of how to install latest mainline kernel though. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jan 14 '18 at 19:18
  • there are directions here https://askubuntu.com/a/995649/694267. – ravery Jan 14 '18 at 21:28
  • Stackoverflow sucks. I want to delete this question and I CAN'T! – mrsteve Jan 15 '18 at 23:39
  • There are 4 reopen votes on your question and I've written an answer partially based on your question but cannot post it here because the question is closed. So I had to post it [there](https://askubuntu.com/questions/995819/touchpad-gestures-and-holding-keys-does-not-work/995948#995948) – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jan 16 '18 at 01:03

The command line to install the kernel image has an empty space before the ".deb", enter the following line instead:

sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.14.13-* linux-image-4.14.13-*.deb

    I should mention there are easier ways than using `wget` in CLI which your answer doesn't touch on. ie: https://askubuntu.com/questions/879888/how-do-i-update-kernel-to-the-latest-mainline-version/879920#879920 – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jan 14 '18 at 19:21
  • Both methods don't work reliably in the current Meltdown/Spectre mess. I think this discussion is better suited on reddit.com – mrsteve Jan 15 '18 at 18:52
