Upgrade to Linux Kernel 5.4 RC2 on Ubuntu Linux Systems. Terminal commands to Update to Linux Kernel 5.4 RC2 on Ubuntu Linux Systems. The second 5.4 kernel prepatch is out for testing and is codenamed “Nesting Opossum”.
Announcing the release Linux Kernel 5.4 RC2 Linus Torvalds writes: “Nothing particularly stands out here. It’s roughly one third arch updates, one third drivers, and one third “misc” (kvm selftests, networking, filesystems, core kernel, header files etc). No real theme, just random fixes all over the place. The diffstat is pretty flat too, which is just another sign of “small fixes all over”. So nothing looks particularly worrisome, but usually rc2 is fairly calm and it takes a while for any regressions to be noticed. And this one was one of the nice small rc2’s (5.2 and 5.3 rc2’s were both larger than usual), but maybe it’s because it was also a day shorter.”
