Thank you very much Moltke.
I followed your advice to "freeze" kernel updates, then updated everything else and it's all good now. Smile

Hope this helps!

Code:
apt-mark showhold

Thanks!

It helped me a lot to get rid of some i386 unwanted packages! Smile

The CPU is a 64 bit so these are useless now. Uninstalling though, looks more difficult. Anyway, I got rid of the updates.

Best regards! Smile

Hi!

We had a bunch of the same laptop in the office a few years back.
I guess you have a reason for using an USB adapter, but usually there is an Intel or Broadcom inside the laptop.
Maybe it's disable in the BIOS?

Cheers!

You're welcome! Glad it helped you. However, it seems a bit weird being your system a x64 those x86 pkgs are there, do you use or used to WINE? If you do, then those x86 pkgs might be needed and mark them hold may not be the best idea. If you did but you don't anymore, then it is safe to do so.
