    [SOLVED] What is the current kernel for 18.04?

    I'm a bit confused. I use the command line up update a couple of times a week

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update && time sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    I've seen messages that a generic kernel is being downloaded, and I assume installed. Today is was "-36-generic".
    But the current kernel doesn't change when I reboot. uname -a gives me
    "Linux l-k1804 4.15.0-32-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 10 17:58:07 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"

    Is that the current one? I am using the current NVIDIA drivers if that makes a difference.

    I also use an Nvidia driver (390) and I get:

    Code:
    Linux specialed-Aspire-VN7-791 4.15.0-34-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 27 15:21:48 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

      Not sure why you have "time" in your
      Code:
      sudo apt-get update && time sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
      entry. The usual process is
      Code:
      sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
      The dist-upgrade will wait for the the update to complete before starting. Are you sure that the
      Code:
      sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
      actually runs?

      If you're not sure just run
      Code:
      sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
      without "time" and see what happens.

        I get:
        $ uname -a
        Linux GreyGeek 4.15.0-34-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 27 15:21:48 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
        I also use the Nvidia-390 and its dkms-nvidia driver, which I've locked against change (It's not broken so I'm not going to fix it!)

        When I updated a while ago I saw that -36 header come down and install, BUT, it did not compile. So, the source code is setting in
        $ vdir /usr/src

        but since it hasn't been compiled "update-grub" won't list it in /boot and it is not available for selection in the grub menu. Probably because Bionic's utilities and other apps haven't been modified to run under that kernel is my WAG. When it's ready the devs will probably trigger the compile commands.

          Thnaks GreyGeek, that makes sense. The output for "vdir /usr/src" for me looks just like yours.
