Can you try running "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
(sans quotes), put the output in a pastebin (it can be rather long)
and link it here? sometimes if it's a minor error, the update manager
won't display it, such as if there's a package that's being held back
for whatever reason (this is something that's worse in Fedora, dnf
often won't give the reason certain packages are held back until you
try and upgrade the one that's the issue and only with certain flags)

I noticed an update today and I didn't get it. It appears that my
last update was in December. I am running 140.04 LTS, I think.
I just installed it on a new drive a couple o f weeks ago.
Following is the results of uname:
john@sentry35:~$ uname -a
Linux sentry35 3.13.0-74-generic #118-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 17
22:52:02 UTC 2015 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

What should I do?

John,
14.04 and other LTS versions in general do NOT upgrade the kernel from
the original installation. For instance, here is my uname results on one
of my 14.04 Xubuntu systems (which is also fully up-to-date):
$ uname -a
Linux Hygd 3.13.0-74-generic #118-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 17 22:52:10 UTC
2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
On my 15.10 system, the kernel is 4.2.something.
To get a newer kernel while staying with 14.04, download, boot, and then
do a fresh install of the latest 14.04.# (currently 14.04.3) install
image at http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/#lts. Or, follow the instructions
occasionally posted at http://ubuntuhandbook.org/ when a new kernel
becomes available for installation. Keep in mind that a mistake with a
manual kernel upgrade can leave your system unbootable.
take care,
Victor
