I manually installed kernel 3.19 for Vivid Vervet on a computer running trusty tahr 3.16 kernel. What should I do about package updates, do I have to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file as it only lists the trusty repository or will this just break things. Thanks

you can get the 'backported' kernels and packages if the related archive is activated. Be aware that sometimes there is mismach with drm/driver/api; so i'm never using them; i prefer the most recent distro (gnome-shell in my case)
