If you want to move to the newer 3.5 kernel line, you can do so. This is what the 12.04.2 LTS is distributed with. Here is the apt-get for that:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-quantal
You will also want to update your x.org install:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-lts-quantal
Note that some older video cards (nvidia I think) have had their support dropped, so this operation may or may not be safe.
- jebblue 13y agoThanks for the suggestion, I found a top level Quantal package and that pulled in the headers too in case anything needs to compile something. Also, I looked at the X stuff too but it wanted to remove ubuntu-desktop and that seemed pretty drastic so I'm just using the newer 3.5 kernel for now. On this new PC I picked up support for my hot new 1 Gig ethernet, everything else worked fine but now I have an excuse to upgrade to a 1 Gig home router. :) Well once the cable can go fast enough that is. Assuming Google Fiber gets here, they promised Austin but Round Rock might not get it.
