I am trying to upgrade my kernel, but I would like to avoid updating all of the packages that a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade causes. I am running Ubuntu 14.04, if that matters. Is there a way to only upgrade the kernel?
You can upgrade just the kernel by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic
If you need headers for building kernel modules as well, you can also install them like so:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-generic
It will update both linux-image-generic & linux-headers-generic.
