以手動方式安裝和升級最新的 Linux 內核對於每個人來說都不是一件小事，甚至包括一些有經驗的人也是如此。它需要對 Linux 內核有深入的了解。過去我們已經介紹了 UKUU（Ubuntu Kernel Upgrade Utility），它可以從 kernel.ubuntu.com 網站上自動檢測最新的主線內核，並彈出一個不錯的窗口界面進行安裝。

Linux Kernel Utilities[1] （LKU）提供一組 shell 腳本（三個 Shell 腳本），可以幫助用戶從 kernel.org 獲取並編譯和安裝最新的 Linux 內核，也可以從 kernel.ubuntu.com 獲取安裝最新的預編譯的 Ubuntu 內核。甚至可以根據需要選擇所需的內核（手動內核選擇）。

該腳本還將根據 PGP 簽名文件檢查下載的歸檔文件，並且可以選擇通用和低延遲版內核。

建議閱讀：ukuu：一種在基於 Ubuntu 的系統上輕鬆安裝升級 Linux 內核的方式[2]

它可以刪除或清除所有非活動的內核，並且不會為了安全目的留下備份的內核。強烈建議在執行此腳本之前重新啟動一次。

• compile_linux_kernel.sh ：用戶可以從 kernel.org 編譯和安裝所需的或最新的內核

• update_ubuntu_kernel.sh ：用戶可以從 kernel.ubuntu.com 安裝並更新所需或最新的預編譯 Ubuntu 內核

• remove_old_kernels.sh ：這將刪除或清除所有非活動內核，並且只保留當前載入的版本

kernel.org 有固定的發布周期（每三個月一次），發布的內核包括了新的功能，改進了硬體和系統性能。由於它具有標準的發布周期，除了滾動發布的版本（如 Arch Linux，openSUSE Tumbleweed 等），大多數發行版都不提供最新的內核。

如何安裝 Linux Kernel Utilities (LKU)

正如我們在文章的開頭所說的，它的 shell 腳本集只是克隆開發人員的 github 倉庫並運行相應的 shell 文件來執行這個過程。

$ git clone https://github.com/mtompkins/linux-kernel-utilities.git && cd linux-kernel-utilities

安裝指定版本內核

為了測試的目的，我們將安裝 Linux v4.4.10-xenial 內核。在安裝新內核之前，我們需要通過 uanme -a 命令檢查當前安裝的內核版本，以便我們可以檢查新內核是否可以安裝。

$ uname -a

Linux magi-VirtualBox 4.4.0-21-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 18 18:33:37 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

根據上面的輸出，我們的系統使用的是 4.4.0-21 通用內核。

只需運行 update_ubuntu_kernel.sh shell 腳本。第一次運行腳本時會檢查是否滿足所有的依賴關係，然後自動安裝缺少的依賴項。它會檢測系統使用的發行版，並檢索 kernel.ubuntu.com 中可用的預編譯內核。現在，從列表中選擇你需要的內核並輸入序號，然後按回車鍵，它將下載內核映像（linux-headers-4.4.10，linux-headers-4.4.10-xxx-generic　和 linux-image-4.4.10-xxx-generic）。

一旦內核鏡像被下載，它將要求輸入 sudo 密碼來啟動新內核的安裝。

刪除或清除舊內核

只需要運行 remove_old_kernels.sh shell 腳本即可刪除或清除所有非活動狀態的內核。

$ ./remove_old_kernels.sh

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ W A R N I N G +++

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A reboot is recommended before running this script to ensure the current kernel tagged

as the boot kernel is indeed registered and old kernels properly marked for removal.

If you have just installed or modified your existing kernel and do not reboot before

running this script it may render you system INOPERABLE and that would indeed suck.

You have been warned.
