Hi everyone,

While the latest Linux Kernel is currently at the 6.0-rc4 version, now we can install the Linux Kernel 6.0-rc3 in our Ubuntu Linux systems. The 6.0-rc4 version failed to compile, and is the reason why it’s not listed in the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer tool, but at least we can now install the packages of the 6.0-rc3 version with it.

To install it, you must first enable the installation of unstable kernels in the tool. For this, click on Setting and uncheck the “Hide unstable and RC releases”. Then click OK:

Upgrading to the latest Linux Kernel with Mainline - Disabling the "hide unstable and RC releases" button

You should now see the Linux Kernel 6.0-rc3. Select it and press the install button:

1 - Selecting the Linux Kernel 6.0-rc3

The installation will now begin:

2 - Installation Began

Enter your password when prompted:

Upgrading to the latest Linux Kernel with Mainline - Installing the Linux Kernel 5.19.0-rc8 - 3

The installation should finish:

3 - Installation Finished

Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer will show the kernel as installed:

4 - Kernel Installed

Reboot your machine and it should now be showing as running:

5 - Kernel Running

That’s it! You have now installed the Linux Kernel 6.0-rc3. Let’s hope in the next few days and over the weekend, we get the expected builds for the Linux Kernel 6.0-rc5.
