# Resolved: Ubuntu Kernel SRU Period had ended error


I have Ubuntu Livepatch running on one of my PCs, and I was getting the following error:

```
*** System restart required. Kernel SRU period has ended ***
```

It was clear that I needed to update the kernel to continue to receive patches, but an apt-get upgrade wasn't installing a new one.  It wasn't clear to me how to identify and update to the latest supported kernel, and it took some searching around.

I found this page, which lists the latest supported kernel for each Ubuntu LTS release:  [https://ubuntu.com/kernel/lifecycle](https://ubuntu.com/kernel/lifecycle)

As this particular desktop PC is running 22.04 LTS, as of December 2023, the correct way to get the currently supported kernel is: 

```
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-22.04
```

And, this updated my PC to a supported kernel and addressed the issue.
