Easiest way to install older kernel?

[clankfu]

I installed 3.16.0-25 and have been experiencing a couple of minor bugs. If I want to replace it with 3.13.0-37, is it as easy as installing the older kernel via Update Manager and removing 3.16.0-25?

Installing 3.16.0-25 shouldn't have removed 3.13.0-37. You should show both kernels in the grub menu. Check if both are installed with

Code: Select all

dpkg -l|grep  linux-image

I never had 3.13.0-37 installed.

I went from 3.13.0-24 to 3.13.0-39 to 3.16.0-25.

Unless you purged 3.13.0-24 and 3.13.0-39 they should still be there.

In any event you can install 3.13.0-37 with

Code: Select all

sudo apt install linux-image-3.13.0-37-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-37-generic linux-headers-3.13.0-37 linux-headers-3.13.0-37-generic

you need to choose the kernel which boots, because it will always be the newest one by default. you can install Grub Customizer from a PPA to easily adjust this. be careful, save settings and wait for them to save.

Is installing it via Update Manager different than doing it via the terminal or are the results the same?
