[ubuntu-in] How do I update the kernel using the terminal?

[Gaurish Sharma]

Anyone didn't mention kernelcheck(http://kcheck.sourceforge.net)


KernelCheck is a project that is designed to easily build the latest
kernel for your distribution using the instructions provided in the
Master Kernel Thread. This automated process is a fork of AutoKernel
by Robert Wolterman (xtacocorex), Timothy Janssen (mentok), and
Kristof Verbeken (PinguinZ). KernelCheck is currently licensed under
the GNU General Public License.

Current Features

    * Ability to download, compile and install latest kernel automatically
    * Ability to compare latest kernel information with your current
running kernel
    * GUI designed with Glade provides easy accessibility for any user

Supported Platforms
At the moment, KernelCheck is only supported on Debian-Based
platforms. Some of these include Debian, Ubuntu (or any derivatives),
Mint, etc. RPM and Slackware based are planned to be supported in the
future.

Goals

    * To provide every Linux user with a tool to help automate the
complicated kernel-building process
    * Provide an easy-to-use, newbie friendly tool to ease the burden
of compiling kernels
    * Provide an open-source program that all people can edit to their needs
    * Build a tool based on the AutoKernel idea by PinguinZ, but with
more functionality
    * Help the Linux community on its journey to defeat the evil
Microsoft empire
    * Features waiting to be integrated
    * Automatically optimize the kernel to the user's needs
    * Decrease user-interactivity for a smoother and easier building process
