I have a Lenovo+Ryzen-4500 laptop running 20.04 that needs a later Kernel for external monitors. I installed 5.8.0 some weeks back and it has been working fine for me. I just read about an FBI report on a rogue Kernel thing and thought I'd update the kernel.

Kernel 5.8.3 is now available and I have downloaded all 4 .deb files from here https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.8.3/

But cannot figure out how to use the SHA256 checksum on the .deb files. That link gives a checksum for a single file/bundle and not the .deb ones.

Could someone please give me some steps on achieving this verification before installing this update for the current 5.8.0.

  • the individual checksums are in a subdirectory from that page, [here](https://kernel.ubuntu.com/%7Ekernel-ppa/mainline/v5.8.3/amd64/CHECKSUMS). – Doug Smythies Aug 23 '20 at 17:58
