How to install Linux kernel 3.12 On Ubuntu13.10?

Ubuntu13.10 users do not have to look at the release of the new Linux kernel with envy. They can also easily update their systems. Canonical always uses a Linux kernel throughout the development cycle. For example, Ubuntu13.10 is always based on Linux kernel 3.11, but now it has launched a new stable Linux kernel 3.12. Ubuntu users can obtain a newer Lin version only after 14.04LTS is released.

Canonical always uses a Linux kernel throughout the development cycle. For example, Ubuntu 13.10 is always based on Linux kernel 3.11, but now it has launched a new stable Linux kernel 3.12.

Ubuntu users can get a new version of Linux kernel only after 14.04 LTS is released, but they can also choose to install a new version before that.

However, we must remind you from the very beginning. Canonical does not recommend that you update Linux kernel versions other than official channels. This is not a completely secure process. You may encounter problems or even system faults in the future. However, your system performance may be improved.

The kernel you want to download comes from Canonical, which means it is already in. deb format. You do not need to compile it yourself. Open a terminal, navigate to the Downloads folder, and enter the following command:

wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/linux-image-3.12.0-031200-generic_3.12.0-031200.201311031935_amd64.debwget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/linux-headers-3.12.0-031200-generic_3.12.0-031200.201311031935_amd64.deb

If you have a 32-bit operating system, you can also download the 32-bit version. You only need to replace 64bit with 32bit in the Link. Click here to download.

Now, you will run these. deb files just like any other program. On the same terminal where you download the software package, enter the following command (you need the root permission to run normally ):

sudo dpkg -i linux-image-3.12.0-031200-generic_3.12.0-031200.201311031935_amd64.debsudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.12.0-031200-generic_3.12.0-031200.201311031935_amd64.deb

After this process is completed, you need to restart the system. Look, the new version of Linux kernel is successfully updated. The good news is that the old version of the kernel still exists. If you want to delete the 3.12 version of the kernel, you only need to use the well-known command.

sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.12.0-031200-generic_3.12.0-031200.201311031935_amd64.debsudo apt-get linux-headers-3.12.0-031200-generic_3.12.0-031200.201311031935_amd64.deb

Remember, the file name shown above changes very quickly. If the download fails, update the link. Enjoy the Linux 3.12 kernel!
