ubuntu
Calendar Grey July 7, 2023
Dist Ubuntu Esm H88
An important patch tackling backward compatibility problems in Ubuntu's Azure kernel, promoting reliable performance and correct notifications.
The system could show undesired warning messages in certain conditions.

Summary

Update Instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro): linux-image-4.15.0-1167-azure 4.15.0-1167.182~14.04.1 linux-image-azure 4.15.0.1167.133 After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes. ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform this as well.
