I'm on 14.04 LTE and I just got a regular update. I ran "uname -r" and it seems the kernel is now "3.13.0-65-generic."

I'm very happy with this, because MTP now works with my Android phone (It didn't before the update.)

Was the kernel version for 14.04 LTE different before this update? What kernel version used to be in 14.04 LTE?

Edit: The MTP issue must have been caused by something else. Meh, forget this post, lol. I played with an old Clonezilla image of my system, and MTP even worked with that now. Maybe something with my Android phone.

You can track the current kernel version by looking at the version of linux-generic:

$ apt-cache policy linux-generic
linux-generic:
  Installed: 3.13.0.65.71
  Candidate: 3.13.0.65.71

The history of versions can be seen from the changelog for this package:

It doesn't look like the kernel has been downgraded recently.
