Linux-Headers are not the same on two computers

[jlh68]

I have a laptop that has Linux-headers 3.2.0.37 and the update manager says system is up to date. My desktop has Linux-Headers 3.2.0.45. Both are 64-bit, laptop is Intel CPU, and the desktop is AMD CPU.

The question is why are they not the same version of Linux-headers?

Hi

On both machines, can you post the output of


uname -r && dpkg -l | grep linux-headers

Kind regards

Hi

You are running two different kernel releases between your desktop and laptop.

That, as i am sure you know, is why the headers are out.

The question is why :)

Have you pinned any packages ?

Please post the output of (on the laptop)


apt-mark showhold

On the desktop and the latop can you please post the output of


grep "^[^#]" /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}

On the desktop and laptop, can you also post the output of


apt-cache show linux-image | grep -i filename

Kind regards
