Install Linux Kernel 3.4.6 On Ubuntu 12.04/Linux Mint 13

Another maintenance release for Linux 3.4 has been made available recently. We have previously seen the release of Linux 3.4.5 (three days ago), but this kernel brings minor improvements and updates drivers. You can see the release notes for Linux 3.4.6 here.

Linux Kernel 3.4.6 Installation

To install Linux Kernel 3.4.6, you can install Debian packages for your appropriate architecture from this page, or make an automatic installation via our bash script for both Ubuntu 12.04 or Linux Mint 13 as follows:

 cd /tmp && wget -O linux-kernel-3.4.6 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47950494/upubuntu.com/linux-kernel-3.4.6

chmod +x linux-kernel-3.4.6 && sudo sh linux-kernel-3.4.6

When the installation is complete, reboot your system. Next, make sure Linux Kernel 3.4.6 is installed correctly with this command:

 uname -r

To remove this kernel and restore the previous one, run this command:

 sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.4.6-030406-generic

Good luck!
