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?

    Edit your post and add the output of apt-cache policy linux-image-generic and lsb_release -sc.

Release is vivid. output from apt-cache is: linux-image-generic: Installed: (none) Candidate: 3.19.0.16.15 Version table: 3.19.0.16.15 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid-security/main amd64 Packages 3.19.0.15.14 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages

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

    This 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.
