    Not sure if I have the Latest Ubuntu (Karmic) kernel

    Hello. I ran the uname command and it tells me my kernel is "2.6.31-16-generic"

    But when I run Update Manager, a linux kernel shows up that appears to be 2.6.31.17.30
    But when I click on the check-box, nothing happens (I can't highlight it for installation).

    My question is, Do I have the latest kernel with 2.6.31-16?

    I had to hold back the update "xserver-xorg-video-all" because of an intel video driver issue. (I reverted back to the Jaunty video driver by installing "xserver-xorg-viedo-intel-2.4) Could this be blocking me from further kernel updates?

    Also, is there a website I can go to for checking out what the latest kernel is for Ubuntu?

    take care.

    The latest kernel that can be found within the Ubuntu repositories should show up in the packages list under the Synaptic package tool.

    2.6.31.17 appears to be a proposed update. I'm sure it will filter through to being an actual update in the not to distant future

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
