Check you menu.lst. If you have kept up with the updates; you already have it.
Post:
uname -a

Try this:


cat /boot/grub/menu.lst|grep 8.04.1

Which should output something like:

title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic
title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic (recovery mode)
title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-18-generic
title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-18-generic (recovery mode)
title Ubuntu 8.04.1, memtest86+

If not:


menu System -> Administration -> Update Manager -> Check

heissam@orbit:~$ uname -a
Linux orbit 2.6.22-15-generic #1 SMP Tue Jun 10 09:21:34 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
note: i had to revert my kernel, the current kernel which i have is 2.6.22-19 but i am using the 2.6.22-15 because otherwise audio doesn't work. i am using Thinkpad T40.

Which should output something like:

title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic

If not:


menu System -> Administration -> Update Manager -> Check

Interesting, I assumed I had been updated to 8.04.1, but maybe not:

$ cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep 8.04
title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic
title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic (recovery mode)
title Ubuntu 8.04, memtest86+

I've run

gksudo "update-manager -c"
and still don't see any updates.

Check you menu.lst. You probably have both.

Try booting into the latest kernel and then sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. then verify the version. Once verified revert back to the kernel that work for you.

This shows your release information:

cat /etc/lsb-release

grep 8.04 would pull up 8.04 and 8.04.1 entries if they both existed.

If your grub isn't updated, try this:

$ apt-cache policy linux-generic
Mine says:


linux-generic:
Installed: 2.6.24.19.21
Candidate: 2.6.24.19.21
Version table:
*** 2.6.24.19.21 0

500 http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/restricted Packages
2.6.24.16.18 0
500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/restricted Packages

Try update your grub:

sudo update-grub

If you still get 8.04 instead of 8.04.1 in the kernel list:

Your mirror archive isn't updated probably.
Go to menu System > Administration > Software Sources > Download from: Main Server
Click "Close" button and then "Reload".

Clear the grub menu.lst file and re-create it:
Warning: Could break stuff like windows booting - use at your own risk!!

sudo mv /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup
sudo update-grub


If something goes wrong, you restore the old menu.lst:

sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup /boot/grub/menu.lst

After issuing
sudo update-grub
my menu.lst was updated... go figure.


$ cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep 8.04

title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic (recovery mode)

Thanks again for the tip.

I did that and now I have an error, just after GRUB that says :

"Undefined video mode : 31b"

try Synaptic, in the Base section. It lists all the kernels you have installed or can install.

Just inserted the 8.04.1 alternate CD and synaptic started stating "new media with software packages detedted". Selected the packages for upgrade/installation and all went smooth,
