When the computer turns on, the menu comes too late. It crashes when I click on notifications when it arrives. Can you help me?

The kernel and elementary version I use:

OS: elementary OS 5.1.5 Hera x86_64 
Host: HP EliteBook 840 G4 
Kernel: 4.15.0-108-generic 
Uptime: 2 mins 
Packages: 2381 
Shell: zsh 5.4.2 
Resolution: 1366x768 
DE: Pantheon 
WM: Mutter(Gala) 
Terminal: io.elementary.t 
CPU: Intel i5-7200U (4) @ 3.100GHz 
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 620 
Memory: 1498MiB / 7856MiB

  • Why you are using old kernel 4.15 when Elementary OS is using kernel above 5? Any explanation?

  • There is nothing I do intentionally. I use sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade How to upgrade? Jun 30, 2020 at 8:47
  • Strange. Can you try sudo apt dist-upgrade in terminal?

Check current kernel with uname -a in terminal and then proceed the kernel upgrade.

uname -a
wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.3/linux-headers-5.3.0-050300_5.3.0-050300.201909152230_all.deb https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.3/linux-headers-5.3.0-050300-generic_5.3.0-050300.201909152230_amd64.deb https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.3/linux-image-unsigned-5.3.0-050300-generic_5.3.0-050300.201909152230_amd64.deb https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.3/linux-modules-5.3.0-050300-generic_5.3.0-050300.201909152230_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-5.3.0-050300*.deb linux-image-unsigned-5.3.0*.deb linux-modules-5.3.0-050300*.deb
sudo reboot
uname -a

Additional knowledge for advanced users which allow to install up to 5.6 version which is stable. 5.7 is in testing (I am using it).

Mainlines:

https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.3/
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.4/
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.5/
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.6/

Use always amd64 architecture for 64 bit. The exception is when you are using 32 bit architecture, because you have to.

Do not use lowlatency headers and images, because it is for special purpose, when you really need it.
