Upgraded focal to jammy
ran sudo apt update and sudo upgrade - 87 items updated/upgraded/installed
during upgrade saw "Oracle" flashing by on several item names
kernel name is now "5.15.0-1017-oracle"
I have not nor have I ever had any use for Oracle.

These are special kernels, they are not installed by default if you use
the official desktop/server ISOs. Is that the case or did you use a
special installer image, e.g. on a virtual machine?

There are plenty of 'oracle' related files in the Ub repo/s incl
kernels. Maybe you installed something that has an oracle kernel
dependency that you didn't realize.

There are nvidia modules that require oracle kernel.

I see in synaptic that there are other things which parts that want
oracle stuff or mention oracle in the description, such as Java and Tomcat.

No need for capital O if you're using the -i (ignore-case) switch. :-)

@Marco:
Originally had - to the best of my knowlege - vanilla 20.04.
Clicked on "Upgrade" and stood back. IIRC had to choose when installation asked whether to update issue.net,
other than that nothing comes to mind.

@Mike Easter:
My original 20.04 had no mention of oracle IIRC.
To my best recollection, I have never installed anything related to Oracle (I may of course be remembering wrong) and/or
nvidia

You can use apt-file search or dpkg -S to find which package brought in
some file. Or maybe run apt list --installed|grep oracle to see which
installed packages have oracle in the name. Then aptitude why may hint
at why that specific package was installed.

FTR, my little Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installed on a Raspberry Pi doesn't seem
to have oracle anything.

More data points:
Rebooted (via grub menu) to original 22.04.1 (First install after upgrade from 20.04.2 )
ran uname -r
and saw "5.15.0-47-generic" -- No mention of oracle.

After running sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade
I now see in the current kernel running uname -r "5.15.0-1017-oracle"
...Huh??

Output of apt list --installed | grep oracle as follows:
<quote>
$ apt list --installed | grep oracle

Definitely nothing I have ever asked for, or needed
And by the way, there were no signs of oracle (IIRC) in any 20.04.* version
If I get desperate, I might just resume using the original 22.04.1, I guess. But other than the puzzle I see no
ill-effects (yet) from the new misnamed kernel.

Still hoping...

I would open e.g. /var/log/dpkg.log, /var/log/dpkg.log.1 in a text
editor to see what happened before the first "oracle" appearance.

Yes, but Oracle is a company name, and I guess it makes some people
freak out.

Linux and GNU are perceived as "democratic" names — they belong
to "the community" — and so when people see the name of a (very big,
powerful and not very loved or trusted) corporation fly by, they may
assume that they're now running something that's controlled and/or
owned by said company, as opposed to by the community.

It's all about perception. People often forget that btrfs is being
developed and maintained by Oracle, and that this was already the case
before Oracle bought Sun Microsystems and obtained ownership of the zfs
code base.

(zfs is Free Software, but its CDDL license is considered incompatible
with the GPL because it allows for proprietarization. Having one and
the same company develop both btrfs and zfs, with both of those
filesystems being very similar in features, gave some people the idea
that btrfs would have been phased out and replaced by a possibly
GPL-licensed version of the older and — at that time — more mature zfs,
but Oracle had other plans, and what they did to MySQL and OpenSolaris
did not exactly instill confidence in the company among the FLOSS
community.)

Stay well away from his gripping hand :-)

That's why seeing his kernel sneak into your machine,
yeah, that's freaky. It's like finding Windows 11 running
a Bash shell and graphical Linux.

The corporations smell blood in the water, and now

Soon, Dow Chemical will submit a kernel. I have foreseen it.

Finally got rid of the problem
(Not solved it, just got rid of it)

Luckily stil had the vanilla post-upgrade from focal in the grub menu,
booted from that and with Google's help removed two versions (*1016* & *1017*)
by running apt purge
also purged all linux-headers-oracle
before rebooting ran update-grub
grub menu now holds one entry: 5.15.0-47-generic (and Advanced sub-menu for the same) and boots well.
Ran sudo apt update and ... nothing significant (a few php updates)

Still don't know what caused the problem, especially as the linux-oracle kernel would appear to be optimized for cloud use.
Hopefully all is back to norbal (sic)

Many thanks to all who responded. This newsgroup really is the finest resource!!
