On 14.04, my kernel version is 3.11.0-18?

Question

After upgrading to 14.04, my kernel is not upgraded! it's like before:

Linux Boxi 3.11.0-18-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 18 21:11:14 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here's what I did:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo do-release-upgrade
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:    14.04
Codename:   trusty

please file a bug report - at least two questions have reported the same issue. The developers need to be aware of the situation and fix it for future users. Thanks. — fossfreedom, Apr 20, 2014 at 23:11
The same happened to me on upgrading from Ubuntu 15.04 to 15.10. The accepted answer solved the issue. — Palantir, Oct 23, 2015 at 13:42

Just upgrade your kernel afterwards using apt-get.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-generic
