Update Instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
   linux-image-6.14.0-1010-oem     6.14.0-1010.10
   linux-image-6.14.0-28-generic   6.14.0-28.28~24.04.1
   linux-image-6.14.0-28-generic-64k  6.14.0-28.28~24.04.1
   linux-image-generic-6.14        6.14.0-28.28~24.04.1
   linux-image-generic-64k-6.14    6.14.0-28.28~24.04.1
   linux-image-generic-64k-hwe-24.04  6.14.0-28.28~24.04.1
   linux-image-generic-hwe-24.04   6.14.0-28.28~24.04.1
   linux-image-oem-24.04a          6.14.0-1010.10
   linux-image-oem-24.04c          6.14.0-1010.10
   linux-image-oem-6.14            6.14.0-1010.10
   linux-image-virtual-6.14        6.14.0-28.28~24.04.1
   linux-image-virtual-hwe-24.04   6.14.0-28.28~24.04.1

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.
