You can use Grub Customizer to set the order of kernels to boot - http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/04/install-grub-customizer-ubuntu-16-04-lts/

OK, I have managed to restore a Grub menu so that I can choose a configuration at startup, and by choosing the 97-generic my system functions again.

The problem now is that the machine wants to start in 101 by default, and to update to it, either of which makes my network devices unfindable. How can I keep my system stable and starting by default with a working configuration?

The machine does not recognize an Asus wifi stick, so it remains dead to the world. I am now tempted to try to remove the 101 kernel since the machine was working before. Would this be ill-advised?

Same thing. I received a message to try running autoremove, and after this ran the broken dependencies error was gone from Synaptic. I was able to remove a few of the oldest kernels  to create space and then update ran without error messages. Everything appeared to be fine, system up to date message. But on reboot the system does not recognize any network devices so I cannot get the laptop online. I booted the machine from a DVD and the test OS had no trouble going online so there is no hardware failure. But I cannot find a way to get LL to recognize network devices now.

Try:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install -f
then reboot and report kernel version again.

The output is:
Linux jonathan-UX31LA 4.4.0-97-generic #120-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 19 17:28:18 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

My version on this machine is LL3.4 - the profile info is quite old, but I am running LL on at least three machines here, I think all different iterations.

I first worried something might be wrong when I ran the Lite Upgrade utility and it said I had the latest version. If I am running 3.6 I don't know how it happened...

I thought I should also mention that running LL update says that my system is up to date.

This is preventing me from making space. Remain baffled by mentions of broken pipes and packages...

I have suddenly been having warnings about broken packages in LL 3.4 and assumed I had run out of room and needed to remove old kernels via the tweak tool. When I did this, I got a worrying message that instructed me to come here and paste it into a new post. I hope that this is fixable, and that I can understand what's going wrong...
