I need to update the linux kernel to get the touchscreen to work.

Can i do this without destroying the OS?
I tried to do it earlier and then i got kernel panic when i tried to boot and had to reinstall the OS.

How did you try to update the kernel?

Please back up all important files and then try updating to the 3.19 kernel by clicking the Update Manager icon in the tray and then going to View > Linux kernels > 3.19.0-18 > Install. Then reboot.
