Up to date?
What kernel version are you running?
Have you rebooted by chance?

[Rapidrob]

I did use lite tweaks to remove the two extra kernels.
I tried the command and it showed all is up to date.

[firenice03]

@Rapidrob  If you had created a backup with Time Shift (LL4.x) or Systemback (LL3.x) you would.

I don't think removing the kernels would have caused the issue ---- IF and depending on how you removed them..
If you used Light tweaks to remove them the in use kernel is not an option to be removed, you can only remove old ones.
If you removed by other means you could have inadvertently removed a set of kernel files..


Maybe could try Lite Tweaks and use it to install a kernel - perhaps the next newest version??  You can do in terminal..

Code: [Select]

uname -rYou do have to reboot for kernels to take effect -- newer will usually be defaulted on next boot - choosing advanced in grub you can load previous

[Rapidrob]

I may have done a dumb thing. I backed my master hard drive and got a pop-up window saying that there were two kernels of data taking up a large amount of hard drive space,and I should remove them.
I did. Now when I try to open up my photo's the computer hangs for a very long time before it will allows me to view a photo or select the next one in line.
Is there a way to do a 'system restore" in linux lite?
