I thank everyone for their input.  As I mentioned in a previous post, to
the best of my knowledge I am running the currently released default
kernel from updates/main or security/main repository.  Unless there's
something I don't understand, I have not done anything to install a
non-default kernel.  See below.

:/etc/apt# apt-cache policy linux-image-4.15.0-180-generic 
linux-image-4.15.0-180-generic:
  Installed: 4.15.0-180.189
  Candidate: 4.15.0-180.189
  Version table:
 *** 4.15.0-180.189 500
        500 http://mirrors.namecheap.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://mirrors.namecheap.com/ubuntu bionic-security/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Here's my /etc/apt/sources.list minus the comments...

/etc/apt# cat sources.list | egrep -v '^#'
