Thanks for the update, and attempt to `apport-collect`. I too was unsure what package to re-file against, and had forgotten it was against the meta package when I pasted the apport-collect request.
Ubuntu 20.04.2 release date (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule) refers to the ISO release date. Installed systems will upgrade to it before the scheduled date (usually a few days, however if the ISO release date is pushed back/delayed, the installed systems upgrades do not get delayed except for extraordinary circumstances) as is normal. The 5.8 kernel has been the -edge option for some time now in focal repositories, so people using 20.04 that have installed packages that have dependencies that bring in the latest -edge kernel will have 5.8 already which is expected; any who remained on the the stable kernel still use 5.4 I suspect the issue is understanding, or you've added additional packages added to your system (graphics drivers, 3rd party etc) that have pulled in the -edge kernel option and you off the default stable kernel path. I hoped to gain more detail from the apport-collect, but the package name needs correction first, and I don't know what it should be against (if it's a bug, If there is a bug, I suspect it's only documentation). I've assumed you're using Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop, thus the 5.8 kernel is expected due to announced change; if you're on Ubuntu Server, then this is more of an issue as that doesn't default to HWE like Desktop does. The different path now (from 20.04) between Desktop & Server does make the HWE documents a little harder to write for (both were the same up to and including 18.04/bionic). FYI: Today's Lubuntu 20.04.2 daily (2021-01-14) still has the 5.4 kernel, but it's the only current focal daily I've used today. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1911614 Title: Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.04.1 images use linux-generic-hwe-20.04 instead of linux-generic Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Just as the title says, the 20.04 and 20.04.1 images use the HWE version of linux-generic resulting in upgrades to the 5.8 series kernel. This seems to effect Ubuntu only, or I should say I checked the Kubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, Xubuntu, and Lubuntu iso manifests which all correctly list linux-generic. Also HWE is not truly complete without the accompanying HWE Xstack. I checked all the documentation I could find and this was clearly not intentional. In fact the manifest for Ubuntu Focal Beta still used linux-generic, so this got messed up some time between April 3, 2020 and April 23, 2020. Here's just one example of the documentation for kernel support in Focal LTS: https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle#ubuntu-kernel-release-cycle Installations performed with 20.04 and 20.04.1 media were supposed to remain on the 5.4 series kernel throughout Focal's 5 year lifespan as had been the case since HWE was introduced. The first step in fixing this needs to be stopping fresh installs of Focal using the 20.04 and 20.04.1 media from immediately upgrading to the 5.8 series kernel. It might be a little tricky to revert users from 5.8 to 5.4, but there have been reports of breakage, particularly concerning Broadcom wifi drivers and some graphics problems. But the graphics problems could also be exacerbated by the lack of the matching HWE Xstack? At any rate it's a bug.
