Re: [lubuntu-users] What happened?? kernel not upgrading during dist-upgrade in kinetic??
@Is: Yes. I did both, reinstalled grub and then "mkconfig'd" it and on cold boot, selecting Lubuntu now brings verbose log in/dmesg, or it shows up . . . in the fairly slow boot process . . . but got there!! And uname -r shows 5.19xxx kernel . . . It takes a village . . . in my case. I guess the thing was, after erasing the 5.13 kernel I edited the individual grub item data, but didn't run another "grub2-mkconfig" to solidify the edits?? Or, in this case, find the newer kernel and register it, etc. I started a new thread on Discourse, but since I'm now running Lubuntu I can't post an update there . . . ? : - 0 On Wed, Sep 21, 2022 at 10:00 AM Fritz Hudnut wrote: > Is: > > Thanks for the reply . . .

Re: [lubuntu-users] What happened?? kernel not upgrading during dist-upgrade in kinetic??
Is: Thanks for the reply . . . I do "know" which distro is handling grub . . . the TW install, but they don't do the same "update-grub" command in SUSE, as I recall from past exploits trying to get grub tidied up . . . . They do a command like "grub2-mkconfig xxx" which I did run yesterday. They do offer reinstall with "grub2-install" . . . . I guess it wouldn't hurt to run that to see if it picks up the newer kernel in Lu . . . now that 5.13 is gone there should be a more clear "choice" . . . .

Re: [lubuntu-users] What happened?? kernel not upgrading during dist-upgrade in kinetic??
Hey Fritz, The best way to update grub is using the `update-grub` CLI utility. But you have to do it from the distro you installed grub with. If you can remember which one you installed grub with, simply run that command using `sudo` and it should automatically detect the most recent kernel and do it for you. If you cannot figure out which one you installed it with, reinstall grub from the distro you use the most.

Doesn't seem to be any hints on how to "save" the edits . . . just make them and then boot them??? But, then it appears that the edits are lost and it's back to the previous version?? After I got 5.19 to boot I used the GUI mainline kernel app to remove the old 5.13 kernel, to try to get the system to default to 5.19, but on trying today it said, "5.13 not found, hit any key to continue" and back into Grub menu we went. Arrowed down to Lubuntu, pressed "e" and changed the kernel data to 5.19 and it booted up. Question is, why doesn't it hold the data?? I've changed both line items, the "Lubuntu" and the "advanced options" data and I can boot it, one time . . . . I tried "ctrl o" but that didn't do anything . . . .
