Hi Fritz,
This is what I think:
If the active grub is controlled by some other distro in a dual-boot or
multi-boot setup,
sudo update-grub
of Lubuntu will not upgrade which kernel it points to. You should boot
into the system that controls the active grub and run
sudo update-grub
or some corresponding command. Chances are that it will make Lubuntu
boot into the 5.19 kernel.

So, following up on my investigations . . . synaptic "kernels" does show
"5.19" as "installed" . . . but uname -r still shows that 5.13 is being
selected???
I installed "mainline" some time back, but forgot how to use it . . .
until I found the github page tabbed in FF. I ran a couple commands and
it shows: [CODE] $ mainline --list-installed
mainline 1.0.16
Distribution: Ubuntu Kinetic Kudu (development branch)
Architecture: amd64
Running kernel: 5.13.0-16-generic
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Found installed: 5.19.0-15.15
Found installed: 5.19.0.15.15
Found installed: 5.13.0-16.16
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[/CODE]
I forget how to get it to switch the kernel . . . 5.19 is "installed"
but grub is still selecting 5.13 . . . do I run "mainline
--install-latest" to "reinstall" . . . or is this a grub error of some
type???
I went into grub's "advanced options" and it's only showing three
options for 5.13 . . . I selected recovery and ran fsck which did
nothing, and then dpkg . . . which also found nothing . . . . In the
sense that the system is not finding anything "broken" . . . but it
isn't sliding up to select 5.19 options . . . .

Booted over into master grub control system . . . updated the grub

couple packages to upgrade . . . nothing on the kernel.
Uname -r still showing "5.13.0-16" . . . ???? I guess the question
is, if Sid is running 5.10 why would kinetic be running 5.19???
And, then, other interesting question, why did apt show something
like 5.15 the last time I was in Lu . . . but then "hang" and lose
track of it???
These are somewhat "moot" . . . in that Lu boots and runs OK . . .
but, something "happened" last week . . .????

I guess there was a post on the list that I didn't get, as I'm
on digest . . . . But, thanks guys for checking on the "5.19" .
. . I'm doing "weekly" apt update/upgrade and pretty sure I saw
it was attempting to install 5.15??? (something less than 5.19)
and then now seems to have selected 5.13 . . . ???
I ran the master grub bootloader this morning, which should
select the newest kernel in Lu . . . next time I boot into it .
. . . And I did run "apt -f install" and that brought back
"nothing to do" . . . it didn't show anything "broken" and so forth.
I will also check synaptic to see if it shows anything broken .
. . sometimes it can actually "fix broken" and sometimes it
"blinks its eyes" and nothing happens . . . . I was looking
through my cheat sheet notes for how to fix problems, but I
didn't see anything on "dpkg" and/or how to use it to find and
fix any issues . . . ???
Anyway . . . I'll get back to it in a bit and see if grub found
the 5.19 kernel option to boot up . . . .

Hi Fritz and Israel,
I can confirm that Kinetic is a 5.19 now. Today I installed
Lubuntu via
kinetic-preinstalled-server-amd64.img.xz
and lubuntu-desktop, installed into it when running in an
external SSD
according to
"Ubuntu Server amd64 compressed image (when extracted) boots
in UEFI and
BIOS mode",
