Public bug reported: The meta packages linux-hwe-generic and linux-image-hwe-generic cause the installation of the Quantal kernel in Precise rather than the latest linux[-image]-generic-lts-trusty.
I would expect the Trusty kernel to be installed at this point and I am depending on this working for bug #1275656 to make the instructions as streamline as possible. $ uname -a Linux server-rcj-p1 3.2.0-61-virtual #93-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 2 21:54:33 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ cat /proc/version_signature Ubuntu 3.2.0-61.93-virtual 3.2.55 $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Release: 12.04 $ apt-cache policy linux-image-hwe-generic linux-image-hwe-generic: Installed: 3.2.0.61.72 Candidate: 3.2.0.61.72 Version table: *** 3.2.0.61.72 0 500 http://nova.clouds.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ sudo apt-get install linux-image-hwe-generic Reading package lists...
