[SOLVED] Mint 21 Update Manager Problem

Post by griffo11 »

I recently successfully updated from Mint 20 to 21 using the official update tool. However, I encountered the Warning apt-key is depreciated issue described here: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=377591

Perhaps foolishly, I ignored the depreciated key warning for a while until the first Mint 21 kernel update popped up in Update Manager from 5.15.0-47 to 48. The kernel update has failed and I don't see a solution.

I have successfully fixed the apt-key issue following the instructions linked above, but the Update Manager new kernel still fails:

Terminal text from failed update section:

When posting results from Terminal, please use code tags instead of quote tags. It makes it much better to read, especially when there's tabbed output.

Thanks.

Hey JerryF, sorry for the noob mistake. I will be sure to use the code quotes for Terminal outputs now.

sleeper12, I downloaded the file and double clicked, got this message the same version was already installed. I hit Reinstall anyway, in case the original file was corrupted.
libss same version.png
Ran update-grub, and got this (code quotes!):

Code: Select all

fairforest@Valued-All-Series:~$ sudo update-grub

Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-5.15.0-47-generic
Found Windows 10 on /dev/sda1
done
fairforest@Valued-All-Series:~$ 
Rebooted, and got the advanced option to boot the 5.15.48-generic kernel. Boot into -48 normal now. No errors in the Update Manager refresh screen.
So, solution found!
Many thanks, griffo11

By the way, I assume the reinstall added the file that was missing before:

Found theme: /boot/grub/themes/linuxmint-2k/theme.txt
/etc/grub.d/bin/grubcfg_proxy: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried to open the /etc/grub.d/bin/grubcfg_proxy file to see what was in there. It will not open even when using open as root in the file manager. I'm afraid to mess with it much more, system is working fine now.

I did do a search for the libcrypto.so.1.1 file. Search found it in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu folder with a 14 May 2022 date modified. So, the file is on the system now and things are working OK, so I guess we were successful.
Thanks,
