It's a shame that mainline don't build LTS compatible kernels anymore, but what can we do about it? It would be nice if they would build for ubuntu-next *and* previous LTS, but they don't.
So new kernels for any Ubuntu release relies on the HWE updates that come with the point releases. The next focal update (20.04.3) should back port the kernel from 21.04 (which is 5.11) and it should arrive in August. The previous HWE kernel was 5.8. What I don't understand with the HWE packages, is that there is both a linux-generic-hwe-20.04 and a linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge. It feels to me like `edge` should be more like a rolling release between the HWE releases that come with an LTS update, but they're not?? Currently the edge and non-edge versions are exactly the same. $ apt-cache madison linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge | 5.8.0.55.62~20.04.39 | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages $ apt-cache madison linux-generic-hwe-20.04 linux-generic-hwe-20.04 | 5.8.0.55.62~20.04.39 | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages Strange. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1926938 Title: Recent mainline packages are built with Hirsuite 21.04, not Focal 20.04 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1926938/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
