Update to Kernel 5.2 on Linux Ubuntu Systems. Here is how to install Linux Kernel 5.2.2 on Ubuntu. Kernel 5.2 brings Sound Open Firmware, a new mount API, new open-source GPU drivers, case-insensitive support for EXT4 with drivers and architecture improvements and bug and security fixes.
Announcing the release of Kernel 5.2, Linus Torvalds, writes:
“So I was somewhat pre-disposed towards making an rc8, simply because of my travels and being entirely off the internet for a few days last week, and with spotty internet for a few days before that [*]. But there really doesn’t seem to be any reason for another rc, since it’s been very quiet.
Yes, I had a few pull requests since rc7, but they were all small, and I had many more that are for the upcoming merge window. Part of it may be due to the July 4th week, of course, but whatever – I’ll take the quiet week as a good sign. So despite a fairly late core revert, I don’t see any real reason for another week of rc, and so we have a v5.2 with the normal release timing. There’s no particular area that stands out there – the changes are so small that the sppended shortlog really is the best description of last week.
A few small random changes all over: drivers, architectures, filesystem, mm, … So with this, the merge window for 5.2 is open. – Linus”
