I recently upgrade from 14.10 to ubuntu 15.04 and I was expected also the kernel to be upgraded from 3.16 to 3.19, but this wasn't happened! Why this problem? can I do manually upgrade of kernel?
1 Answer
Open a terminal and type:
$ sudo apt-get install linux-generic
Restart and you should see on Grub that the kernel version should 3.19

1This will not work if grub is set to use the last working version of the kernel, in which case one might have the latest kernel, but being unable to boot from it.– BraiamAug 22, 2015 at 5:01
