Ubuntu – How to get Software Updater to update

updates

I run Software Updater regularly, but lately it isn't actually updating my system. I always get to the point where it says "The software on this computer is up to date", but I know that it's not because "uname -a" yields:

Linux intel-nuc2 3.13.0-49-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 10 20:11:33 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

…and I believe it should now be up to 3.13.0-52-generic. What have I been doing wrong lately? I really want to stay current.

Just open a terminal and execute the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-generic
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

reboot!

In the future, just run the following commands to update the entire system:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
