That package may install an older kernel than the default generic one.

I use Linux Mint 17.3 which has 3.19.0-32-generic, but the linux-lowlatency
package installs 3.13.0-77 (even though package managers say "This package
will always depend on the latest complete lowlatency Linux kernel available.")

I mention it because I've seen reports of problems on Mint 17.3 when that
has been tried. Might be worth going for the linux-lowlatency-lts-vivid
package, which will get 3.19.0-49. A closer match.
