How do I list what is current kernel version for LTS HWE?

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3070 / 2 Years ago, mon, december 6, 2021, 1:03:00

Would like to install HWE packages for my 20.04 Ubuntu, not sure if the kernel has been updated or not yet (to which there would be no point in doing for now).

How can I list what version of the kernel would be used by upgrading the HWE packages?
OR Where can I find such info?

Thanks

You can see the exact version of the kernel when you list the dependencies of the package:

apt-cache depends linux-image-generic-hwe*

will show you what you want to know.

Using the asterisk in the command will make the command independent from the Ubuntu-version used, but also will list the edge-kernel. In your case it will also list the dependencies for linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 which exist in the focal main repository.
