This installation guide should work with the latest version of Ubuntu Linux and most Ubuntu-based distributions including Kubuntu and Mint. The included kernel files have been compiled using the generic Ubuntu configuration. A low latency version is also available in the directory of the linked files.
Installation Guide (GUI)
- Download the kernel headers package:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.7/linux-headers-4.7.0-040700_4.7.0-040700.201607241632_all.deb - And the appropriate headers package for your system (choose yours)
- AMD64: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.7/linux-headers-4.7.0-040700-generic_4.7.0-040700.201607241632_amd64.deb
- ARMHF: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.7/linux-headers-4.7.0-040700-generic_4.7.0-040700.201607241632_armhf.deb
- I386: linux-headers-4.7.0-040700-generic_4.7.0-040700.201607241632_i386.deb
- PowerPC: linux-headers-4.7.0-040700-generic_4.7.0-040700.201607241632_ppc64el.deb
- And the kernel image (choose yours)
- AMD64: linux-image-4.7.0-040700-generic_4.7.0-040700.201607241632_amd64.deb
- ARMHF: linux-image-4.7.0-040700-generic_4.7.0-040700.201607241632_armhf.deb
- I386: linux-image-4.7.0-040700-generic_4.7.0-040700.201607241632_i386.deb
- PowerPC: linux-image-4.7.0-040700-generic_4.7.0-040700.201607241632_ppc64el.deb
- Install the files in the same order as downloaded above. So first install the headers (generic and CPU) and finally the image (1 file).
- In the terminal run:
sudo update-grub - Reboot and select the kernel from the bootloader menu
I will post the latest version of the 4.7 branch and 4.8 release candidates in comments below.
