Reading the 1404_HWE_EOL wiki page, it says

  1. Manually installing the Ubuntu HWE packages (e.g. .*-lts-wily)

However, it also says

To determine which packages to upgrade use:

hwe-support-status --show-replacements

Which command would be the safer way of updating the HWE stack?

sudo apt-get install .*-lts-xenial`

or

sudo apt-get install $(hwe-support-status --show-replacements)

The former is over three times the size of the latter and includes fewer packages.

  • From my experience(http://askubuntu.com/questions/887682/low-graphics-mode-after-16-04-2-hwe-upgrade/887696#887696), I will suggest you to first change your graphics driver to Nouveau. Then perform the kernel update. Then after rebooting, do the xserver update. Then reboot. If everything runs fine, remove all the unnecessary old packages. This will also be of help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/888614/removing-left-over-kernel-packages-from-previous-kernel-after-hwe-upgrade –  Apr 03 '17 at 01:04

According to the Kernel/LTS Enablement site, the proper command to run for 14.04 would be:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-xenial libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-xenial

Hope this helps!
