[lubuntu-devel] Lu 20.10 running 5.4 kernel . . . still???

[Fritz Hudnut]

LOL . . . ran the "headers" upgrade . . . rebooted . . . .

[CODE] ~$ sudo uname -r
[sudo] password:
5.4.0-42-generic [/CODE]

I then ran another apt dist-upgrade  "nothing to do" . . . .

So, seems like the kernel is "stuck"????
