Why my kernel is not the latest for 14.04?
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?
Cheers!

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
