As I have similar problem as had Vladymir, I wanted to use his solution to upgrade to 5.6 kernel. After little lookup I found that for 20.04 in official repos are 4 oem (?) (signed or unsigned) 5.6 kernel images:

linux-image-5.6.0-1007-oem - Signed kernel image oem

linux-image-5.6.0-1008-oem - Signed kernel image oem

linux-image-5.6.0-1010-oem - Signed kernel image oem

linux-image-5.6.0-1011-oem - Signed kernel image oem

I did not found any 5.6 generic images. I have no idea, how affects me oem and I have no idea what are meaning those numbers before -oem, but I just want to install 5.6 kernel for my desktop? Are those kernels meant to install for general use on desktop? Or what is the proper way to install generic 5.6 kernel?

You can find the Kernels for Ubuntu in this website, there are many: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

Before you start to install a new kernel, it is recommended to backup all of your data.

For example if you want kernel 5.6.10 then you need to download these files:

linux-headers-5.6.10-050610_5.6.10-050610.202005052301_all.deb



linux-headers-5.6.10-050610-generic_5.6.10-050610.202005052301_amd64.deb



linux-image-unsigned-5.6.10-050610-generic_5.6.10-050610.202005052301_amd64.deb



linux-modules-5.6.10-050610-generic_5.6.10-050610.202005052301_amd64.deb

After you downloaded the files, just run:

sudo dpkg -i *

sudo reboot
