Kubuntu 12.04.4 saucy kernel

[Wallace]

Why doesnt Kubuntu 12.04.4 include the saucy kernel like Ubuntu 12.04.4? I would like to install Kubuntu 12.04 on my ASrock z87 Pro 4 but it won't pick up my network card.

All Kubuntu 12.04 point releases include default 12.04 kernel. You can install saucy kernel manually

sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-saucy

or all "LTS enablement stack"

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-saucy xserver-xorg-lts-saucy libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-saucy

Btw why bother with 12.04 in the first place? 14.04 is awesome release and much better than 12.04 IMHO.

hmmm...how do I "sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-saucy" without an internet connection? Are the kernels located on the DVD? Point releases are generally more stable and I like a few of the older versions of certain applications, as such I prefer 12.04.4.

Download kernel on other pc which has internet connection and copy it to usb flash drive. You can find saucy kernel here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...1.10.10-saucy/
