not upgrading Kernel?

[ffendland]

sudo apt-get upgrade gives me the following:
The following packages have been kept back:
linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

Re: not upgrading Kernel?

Any packages held back are done so for a reason. Don't push it. But that said, what kernel are you booted into when you run the upgrade command?

Just re-booted to make sure.. It's 2.6.32-21-generic

Just to ensure the cache is up to date, run:

sudo apt-get update

Then run:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

(dist-upgrade is preferable to upgrade - see man apt-get for the info)
