I finally created an account here !
I have a 2015 macbook pro running Ubuntu 16.04, with the kernel 4.4.0-72-generic. I have been using this computer on linux for about two years and I don't understand why I don't have kernel updates anymore.
I installed Ukuu and it tells me that the last version available is 4.14.4 ! Is this normal ? I used to have every.. two weeks ? a severall hundred MB update of the linux headers and image but now I don't get any of that for months.
I can't seem to understand since when or why this happens.
The command I use to look for update is :
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade && sudo apt clean
When searching on this site I stumbled upon this : Why is apt no longer updating the kernel?
No of the proposed fix worked :
sudo apt-get install linux
returnedE: Unable to locate package linux
sudo apt-get install linux-generic
returnedlinux-generic is already the newest version (4.4.0.72.78).
sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic
returnedlinux-image-generic is already the newest version (4.4.0.72.78).
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
returns0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I think it might have to do with this one time I used ukuu to install a recent kernel but everything crash so I think I ended up manually returning to the old one, but it was such a long time ago I'm not sure that was it.
4.4.0.103.108
