Actually, my question is much more general.
I would like to update the kernel to get some recent security updates.
ubuntu@ip-14-0-50-189:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-image

Package linux-image is a virtual package provided by:
linux-image-3.13.0-87-generic 3.13.0-87.133
linux-image-3.13.0-139-generic 3.13.0-139.188
linux-image-4.4.0-111-lowlatency 4.4.0-111.134~14.04.1
linux-image-4.4.0-111-generic 4.4.0-111.134~14.04.1
linux-image-4.4.0-1011-aws 4.4.0-1011.11
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package 'linux-image' has no installation candidate
I need one of the 4.4.0 kernels -- generic
, lowlatency
or aws
. The host is running in EC2, so I'm guess that aws
would be an acceptable choice. But I don't have any actual information about the different types.
Where can I find information about the different versions I'm being offered here?
Why are generic
and lowlatency
version 4.4.0-111.134
while aws
is 4.4.0-1011.1
?
