- chasil 4y agoYou have a few options for dealing with problems like this. You can "apt update; apt upgrade" then reboot when a new kernel is available. Oracle has also offered Ksplice for free on Ubuntu for many years, and I'm sure that patch will be available promptly. https://ksplice.oracle.com/try/desktop https://ksplice.oracle.com/try/desktop Otherwise, Kernelcare is available for a fee. I think Canonical also has paid kernel patches.
