I would assume that 3.12 would be used instead since it's the latest long-term stable release of the kernel.
- dvirsky 13y agoFWIW I'm already using 14.04 beta2, and the kernel there is 3.13.0-20. This means the stable version will be 3.14, doesn't it?
- pantalaimon 13y agoWhy would you conclude that?
- dvirsky 13y agoI remembered odd versions were unstable, but looking at the kernel info, 3.13 is a stable version. So I'm guessing they'll stick with that.
- pantalaimon 13y ago> I remembered odd versions were unstable this stopped being true very long ago (with the beginning of the 2.6 series)
- dvirsky 13y agoTIL :)
- baldfat 13y agoKernel freeze is April second so this means that they "should" be able to update the kernel to 3.14 but its Ubuntu and you never know.
- skion 13y agoI think that would then be the first time that Ubuntu LTS is piggybacking on an LTS kernel. With 3.12 already 6 months old that seems unlikely to me given Ubuntu's usual attempts to support modern hardware.
- zanny 13y agoIf they don't use 3.14 they won't have complete Intel broadwell support. Since those chips will come out and be the primary source of new 14.04 installs, they either need to release a point release with a new kernel around the product launch or get 3.14 in now. Of course they could backport those patches to their kernel.
- brandon 13y agoThe kernel and X stack get regular backports over the life of the LTS release (since Precise): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
- Zigurd 13y agoI upgraded to the 14.04 LTS beta and uname -r returns 3.13.0-19-lowlatency for me.
