The Linux kernel is the core of the operating system, since This is the one that ensures that the computer's software and hardware can work together, in the processes and operations that run on the computer, so to speak, is the heart of the system. It is because of that having the kernel updated is essential for optimal equipment performance.
Few days ago version 4.15.5 released This being the fifth maintenance version of the Linux Kernel 4.15, so this is a fairly quick update, taking into consideration that its previous version is only a few days old.
Linus Torvalds (creator of the linux kernel) has announced the availability of the latest stable version of the Linux kernel, 4.15, and shares the following:
After a release cycle that was unusual in many (bad) ways, this last week was very enjoyable. Quiet and short, and no last minute panic, just small fixes for various problems. I never had the feeling that I would need to extend things another week and 4.15 looks good to me.
How to install Linux kernel version 4.15.5?
To install this version we must open a terminal and execute the following commands, these depend on the architecture of your system.
For 32-bit systems.
wget -c kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15.5/linux-headers-4.15.5-041505_4.15.5-041505.201802261304_all.deb wget -c kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15.5/linux-headers-4.15.5-041505-generic_4.15.5-041505.201802261304_i386.deb wget -c kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15.5/linux-image-4.15.5-041505-generic_4.15.5-041505.201802261304_i386.deb
After having downloaded this, we install with the following command:
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.15.5*.deb linux-image-4.15.5*.deb
For 64-bit systems:
wget -c kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15.5/linux-headers-4.15.5-041505_4.15.5-041505.201802261304_all.deb wget -c kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15.5/linux-headers-4.15.5-041505-generic_4.15.5-041505.201802261304_amd64.deb wget -c kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15.5/linux-image-4.15.5-041505-generic_4.15.5-041505.201802261304_amd64.deb
After having downloaded this, we install with the following command:
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.15.5*.deb linux-image-4.15.5*.deb
Finally, we only have to restart our system so that when we start it again, our system runs with the new version of the Kernel that we have just installed.
This is the result of the first command:
wget -c kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15.5/linux-headers-4.15.5-041505_4.15.5-041505.201802221031_all.deb

Ready, I am solved.
There was a change in the nomenclatures of the date.
It gives an error
Error 404 comes out, and it mentions that it is port 80, that port should be opened, I'll wait until I can do it in a more secure way.
Hello, good morning.
If I am allowed a suggestion from an inexperienced user, I recommend what is published on this website, in relation to UKUU. It locates and installs without problems all the new versions of the kernels.
is this link:
https://ubunlog.com/ukuu-una-herramienta-para-instalar-y-actualizar-el-kernel-facilmente/
I came to say the same, that is a good tool that even gives notifications when a new kernel comes out
i can't install it
I am a mixed Windows and Linux user. On my laptop I have Windows 10 installed on a partition (the one I use regularly) and on another partition I have Linux Mint XFCE x64 that I use
from time to time to get acquainted with it. Well, the fact is that I hadn't used it for some time and when I started it I saw that it had pending updates and I installed them including the version of the Kernel 4.15.0-42. The last version that I had used without problems until now is 4.15.0-29.
Since this latest Linux kernel update does not start, I remove the update and it boots again.
Searching in Google I see this article, I do the corresponding downloads and I update as you indicate to Kernel 4.15.5-041505.
The result of the problem has been solved with Linux Mint fully updated.
Thank you very much for such a good solution.
