When will kernel 3.14 be available in the repositories?

I see that kernel 3.14.1 is available for Trusty at

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

When will this kernel be available for upgrade via the Ubuntu repositories.

(I know that I can manually download and upgrade the kernel, but I'd rather get it as an update).

Solution 1:

It never will. New kernels arrive at repositories of LTS versions when point releases come out. This is part of the Hardware Enablement Stack.

According to the 14.04.x Ubuntu Kernel Support Schedule, kernel 3.16 (from Ubuntu 14.10) will be available in Ubuntu 14.04.2 (due in Feb, 2015). But you don't have to reinstall your system, once 14.04.2 is out (and probably a few days before) just run the following to install kernel 3.16:

sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-utopic

Solution 2:

You can already get it by installing the following...

linux-generic-lts-utopic
linux-image-lts-utopic
linux-headers-lts-utopic

Just remove linux-generic, linux-image-generic, and linux-headers-generic first. You don't need a PPA.
