Graphical update failed for me today. on

Code:

System:    Host: misohorny1 Kernel: 4.4.0-linuxlite i686 (32 bit)           Desktop: Xfce 4.11.8 Distro: Ubuntu 14.04 trusty

So I first opened synaptic and selected fix broken packages. Even though nothing showed broken at the bottom of the synaptic window box. Next. Close down synaptic. Then I opened a terminal and did

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Let it finish. Then

Code:

sudo apt-get -f install harry@misohorny1:~$ sudo apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree      Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies...

So next I did

Code:

sudo apt-get autoremove Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree      Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED:   linux-headers-3.13.0-121 linux-headers-3.13.0-121-generic   linux-image-3.13.0-121-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-121-generic 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

So I move on and double check grub

Code:

sudo update-grub Generating grub configuration file ...

Then double check for errors

Code:

sudo apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree      Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Hopefully fixed now. Not feeling like a reinstall or a upgrade to a later Linux-Lite version yet. Just showing how I handled this bug report

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...ug/1662860

Seems to be a Nvidia bug. Anyways. I hope I fixed it.

Code:

$ sudo -i # apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree      Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgrade

Use this or not at your own risk.

I get this from time to time. It get's fixed through updates, then reappears again later.
If people are using Install Updates they won't see it on 3.x

Quite innocuous.
