How to get the new kernel when upgrading from 14.04.2 to 14.04.3

  • 772

After upgrading to 14.04.3 from 14.04.2 (started with 14.04.1), my kernel is still at 3.13.0-61-generic — I'm expecting a variant of 3.19.

How can I upgrade to include the default kernel from 14.04.3?

nathanbrauer@macthan:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release:    14.04
Codename:   trusty

nathanbrauer@macthan:~$ uname -r
3.13.0-61-generic

Bonus question: Is there anything else that comes default in 14.04.3 but doesn't get installed when upgrading?

14.04

  1. Run in terminal

    sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-vivid

    and reboot.

    You can also upgrade the graphical stack by running

    sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-vivid xserver-xorg-lts-vivid libqt5gui5 libgles1-mesa-lts-vivid libgles2-mesa-lts-vivid libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-vivid libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-vivid:i386 libglapi-mesa-lts-vivid:i386 libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-vivid

    You can read more in Wiki.

    But the upgrade command there is not 100% correct. It may remove some useful packages.
