Hello Linux Geeksters. In this article I will show you how to install Kernel 3.9.4 Stable on Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail, Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, Linux Mint 15 Olivia, Linux Mint 14 Nadia and Linux Mint 13 Maya.
This installation is done using a script, so this guide works for both 32 bit and 64 bit systems:
$ wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/964512/lffl_kernel/kernel-3.9.4 -O kernel-3.9.4.sh
$ chmod +x kernel-3.9.4.sh
$ sudo sh kernel-3.9.4.sh
$ sudo reboot
If you have issues with your Nvidia graphics card, do this:
For 32 bit systems:
$ cd /usr/src/linux-headers-3.9.4-030904/arch/x86/include
$ sudo cp -v generated/asm/unistd* ./asm
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current
For 64 bit systems:
$ cd /usr/src/linux-headers-3.9.4-030904/arch/x64/include
$ sudo cp -v generated/asm/unistd* ./asm
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current
