I am using 14.04.2 probably it was upgraded over 14.04.1 but my kernel version seems still 3.13.



According to 14.04.2 it seems that 3.16. I did not understand why it was not upgraded automatically...

Kernels do not upgrade automatically to a next major version (like 3.13 to 3.16) through routine updates. You can do it manually by running



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


You can read about HWE stack.



If you want to install graphical stack from Ubuntu 14.04.2, then you can run



sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-lts-utopic libqt5gui5 libgles1-mesa-lts-utopic libgles2-mesa-lts-utopic libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic:i386 libglapi-mesa-lts-utopic:i386 libegl1-mesa-drivers-lts-utopic


Here is a good guide for that.



The Ubuntu Wiki command can remove a lot of useful packages. In some cases it removes ubuntu-desktop. So it is not good to run it. Anyway be careful and look which packages are going to be removed before agree to proceed.



After you are happy with the new kernel, you can remove 3.13 kernel meta-packages to prevent 3.13 kernels from updating. It can be done by



sudo apt-get remove linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic


Also old kernel images and headers can be removed with Synaptic.



Update Now 3.19 kernel is available for Ubuntu 14.04. It can be installed by



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