Update Issues

Post by Diego24 »

I clicked on the option to update to 20.2 XFCE, and after running for a while, I got the following errors:

E: linux-firmware: installed linux-firmware package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
E: linux-image-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-image-5.4.0-88-generic: installed linux-image-5.4.0-88-generic package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
E: initramfs-tools: installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

Any suggestions on what I should do?

Just a guess, but do:

Code: Select all

 sudo apt autoremove 
Then try the update again.

Looks like "dependency problems" . . . either check in synaptic to "repair broken packages" if possible or try to "fix install" with "sudo apt -f install" and see what it comes up with . . . .
