Title: New Sparky kernel <SOLVED>
Post by: Sergio 1 on April 20, 2019, 04:30:19 PM
Is it just my problem?
For the second time, the update of Sparky's kernel comes - first 5.08, today is 5.09, but after the upgrade everything remains the same - 5.07.
I have a seemingly new SparkLinks 5.7.1 installed, but everything looks like with the installation of the new version(5.7.1), something not quite right happened.
Could it be that I did something wrong?

uname -a

This might be silly question but did you reboot system after upgrading kernel ?

Thanks lami07
Problem solved.
I have Sparky installed in parallel with Ubuntu, but on a separate disk and to update, it was necessary to restart not via GRUB, but directly from the disk and allow it to be updated.
After the direct launch, I made an update to GRUB in Ubuntu and after that Sparky launched an updated one with a new kernel 5.09.
Thanks for the hint about the "reboot" - it really prompted the idea of a direct launch from the disk.
