Changing this bug to ask for HWE kernel meta to point to Saucy lts kernel. As I understand it from the LTS kernel support chart @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2BAC8-Support.Ubuntu_Kernel_Support the Trusty LTS kernel for Precise is in early preview until 12.04.5 in ~3 months.
If that's correct, I would still like these meta packages updated to point to the latest supported HWE kernel (saucy). Thanks. ** Description changed: 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. + linux[-image]-generic-lts-saucy. 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 + 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...
