My Ubuntu version automatically updated to 12.04.2 but I noticed the kernel did not update. Here is Uname output:

uname -a
Linux david-desktop 3.3.6-030306-generic #201205121335 SMP Sat May 12 17:36:12 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Should the kernel have updated to 3.5? I have manually updated the kernel in the past I wonder if this has messed up the update to 3.5

I've had 3.5 for a long time, 3.6 is out now.

Yes I know in fact 3.8 is available if you install it manually. I was under the impression that 12.04.2 automatically updated to kernel 3.5 so I didn't have to do it manually. Is this not true?

No it isn't true, it is in the repository should you want to install it.

New installs from 12.04.2 would get the newer kernel installed by default.
