Hello, how can i get the latest daily ubuntu kernel ?
Hello. Thanks for this useful script. Is there a reason why the latest stable kernel is not automatically downloaded? For example, latest stable kernel as of today in ~kernel-ppa/mainline/ is 4.9.6. However, on running the script, 4.9.0 is installed. I'm assuming that the script only looks at the 1st two digits of the kernel revision?
a quick fix is to add grep v[1-9].[1-9].[1-9] in the lynx dump command
edit: before the tail -n1
See at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ the page render 4.7.x folder after v4.7.10 folder.
He problem is how the script detect the last valid folder
The solution provided by @nicman23 not looks valid, will ignore folders like 4.13 or 4.13.1
Also http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=M;O=A not works for me
Hey! Awesome script. Curious though that trying to download latest generic non-rc, and it downloads 4.7.0-XX instead of 4.7..2, which according to kernel.ubuntu is the latest as of 7 days ago. (in the website I just realized that the files are not in date order, so 4.7 appears below 4.7.2 even tho the latter is the latest). Sadly I don't know enough bash to suggest how to improve it.
