Yes, you can switch to 3.13 kernel easily.
Install 3.13 kernel by running
sudo apt-get install linux-generic
Remove all
linux-headers
andlinux-image
packages of 3.19 version using synaptic. This will also remove 3.19 meta packages.

I have an application that works fine on 14.04.1 but does not work fine on 14.04.2.
I found a bug report that indicates the newer kernel in 14.04.2 is the source of this issue. Is possible to downgrade the kernel in 14.04.2 from 3.16.0-39 to 3.13.0-43, which was the kernel used in 14.04.1? Or, do I have to remove 14.04.2 and reinstall 14.04.1?

Pilot6 about 8 yearsI doubt that a user space application can have this kind of issues. What is that application?

Pilot6 about 8 yearsIt seems that will not solve your issue. In 3.13 kernels there is same problem. And you can't just downgrade to 3.13.0-46, if it was not installed. Just wait till it is fixed, or install 4.0.

JoKeR about 8 yearsI just meant you mentioned to remove 3.19 version packages in your answer ;)
