[lubuntu-devel] Ran do-release-upgrade -d to get out of the kernel conundrum . . . .

[Fritz Hudnut]

et al:

Since we couldn't come up with a diagnosis on the "Why is groovy still
running 5.4 kernel?" issue, yesterday I went ahead and ran the
"do-release-upgrade -d" as suggested here, rather than just editing the
sources.list from groovy to hirsute . . . seems like it pulled in "1000"
packages and that generally went smoothly . . . .

I've rebooted into it a couple of times, I'd still have to say that it
isn't a "quick boot to log in" kind of distro . . . but once logged in and
running I'd say it is "better" than groovy for speed and zippiness in the
GUI . . . .

[CODE] $ uname -r
5.8.0-34-generic [/CODE]

I believe my Debian Bullseye distro is running 5.9 and my TW distros are at
5.10 . . . although my LM 20.04 is back at 5.4 . . . .

So, I'll monitor the situation on kernel upgrading in the coming weeks, I
don't believe I've locked grub in Lu, so all of the upgrades with hirsute
should have gone through and we should be "updated" . . . to current
packages???  It did take me some hours of effort to get grub re-hooked up
yesterday, as I also had run an OSX 10.13 "security update" which seems to
wipe out grub connections pretty thoroughly . . . .
