My kernel is currently

Linux scv 3.13.0-34-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 13 15:45:27 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

But I know it should be

3.13.0-45-generic #74
Why is it not updated by default on my pc upon execution of
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Any idea? How can I fix this?

EDIT:

executing

ema@scv:~$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS \n \l
reports 14.04.2 apparently...

EDIT2:

on my other computer, with a fresher install of Ubuntu 14.04, I got 3.13.0-45-generic #74...

  • Actually 14.04 should have linux kernel 13.6 – wyas Feb 25 '15 at 19:48

    @wyas that would be 14.04.2 (or the hardware stack for 14.10) – Rinzwind Feb 25 '15 at 19:49
  • @Rinzwind ah yeah good point just read it https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes – wyas Feb 25 '15 at 19:50
  • That should be working for you. Can you give us any more information? Does apt-get say something isn't right or that the kernel is already the most recent or whatever. Is there enough space on /boot to add another kernel? – Doug Smythies Feb 25 '15 at 21:40
  • @DougSmythies There is enough space on /boot (128 GB, /home is on another partition). How do I check with apt-get that I got the latest packages? Anyway, apt-get update && upgrade && upgrade-dist doesn't report nothing... Added the list of repos/ppa in main question. Let me know what else. – Emanuele Feb 25 '15 at 23:44
  • Should I be installing sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0-46-generic manually? – Emanuele Feb 26 '15 at 00:01
  • I didn't know you had so much PPA stuff. I wonder if some dependency within a PPA is what is preventing apt-get from deciding to get and install a newer kernel. Forcing it as per your last comment might tell you if there is a dependency issue. – Doug Smythies Feb 26 '15 at 01:33
  • @DougSmythies So which command should I execute to check if dependencies are broken? What should I execute? sudo apt-get install linux-generic? Something else? – Emanuele Feb 26 '15 at 07:11
  • yes, sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0-46-generic – Doug Smythies Feb 26 '15 at 07:27
  • @DougSmythies Yesterday I tried, then was late and Ctrl+C. But from the looks of it it didn't raise any complaint. Will this also install headers and re-compile all the kernel modules such nVidia proprietary drivers? – Emanuele Feb 26 '15 at 08:19

Apparently I didn't have the meta package linux-generic installed... A simple

sudo apt-get install linux-generic && sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-346

Did the trick!
Amazing, didn't think I somehow managed to remove that meta-package...

Now I got

ema@scv:~$ uname -a
Linux scv 3.13.0-46-generic #75-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 10 15:24:04 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Result!

First run the cat /etc/issue command to verify what Ubuntu version do you have. I have the same kernel as you do, but my kernel Ubuntu version is 14.04. There is always a difference in between a kernel version and the distribution version.
