Kernel 4.2 RC4 for Linux Ubuntu. Terminal commands to install Linux Kernel 4.2 RC4 on Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 14.10. The latest version of Linux Kernel 4.2 RC4 has been released and it comes with various update for networking and drivers and some filesystem fixes.
Announcing the release, Linus wrote:
“So we still had some bugs due to the low-level x86 asm cleanup work, and the 32-bit compat ‘syscall’ instruction (only used on AMD) was subtly broken. That should be all fixed now, so if you run a 64-bit kernel and have 32-bit user space (including things like wine etc) and saw problems earlier, go ahead and update.
Of course, please go ahead and update even if you didn’t see problems, just to test the new rc.
Other than that issue, it’s mostly drivers and networking, USB, gpu, mmc, network drivers, sound. With some ARM noise (but even that is mostly driver-related: dts updates due to MMC fixes). And a few small filesystem fixes.”
