HWE stack for upgrade to 24.04.2

[wonder]

I think I know the answer, but when in doubt, I prefer to ask.

Hi,
In the last I was asked the same question about upgrading HWE stack 22.04 to 22.04.2.

I was run with 22.04, this command:

sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-22.04

Is the same in 24.04 changing 22.04 to 24.04?

Thanks and regards.

Yes it will be the same.
If you didn't get the new 6.11 kernel for some reason with your updates in the past couple of days, you would need to do the same step to make sure you have this meta-package installed. This is what pulls it in.

Do remember that the ".2" is just an updated ISO image, not a real release or anything. Updating normally is all you need to do to reach that point, an actually be 'ahead' of it.

Ok, thanks.
Yes, I always get to .2 by updating.

As you say, no, I haven't received the 6.11 kernel, and I have deduced that, as in all the previous ones, I need to do the same step to make sure I have this meta-package installed.

Thanks,

I **think** that Ubuntu still leaves out the HWE metapackage for fresh installs of the initial ".0" image, and the ".1"

I had read in the past, and in a few places, that all desktops were supposed to automatically be on the HWE track. But it seems to still be the old way.
Upgrades from 22.04 who already had HWE would not lose it.

Indeed, I always start at 0, upgrade (or it is upgraded) to 1 and then 2, just as you say, Ubuntu still leaves out the HWE metapackage for fresh installs of the initial ".0" image, and the ".1", for this reason I need made this.

Thanks
