Then install the downloaded packages through dpkg:
dpkg -i *.deb
After the installation restart grub:
sudo update-grub
There is a common problem that “the update grub command is not found”. You can solve it with the following command:
sudo apt-get install –reinstall grub
After the successful update, restart the server:
sudo reboot
Check the server version:
uname -r
You should see the following text:
root@kernelUpgrade:~# uname -r
4.11.2-041102-generic
root@kernelUpgrade:~#
