Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager
ok have done them all. know what is next? to early to open the champagne?
Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager
Well, we *should* be good now. This should list only the -111 kernel and whatever the latest version you installed now (plus the few unversioned files caught in this search):
Code: Select all
dpkg-query -W -f '${Package}\n' | grep "^linux-"
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install -f -y
Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager
It worked thanks you. However still cant see the wifi or bluetooth tethering or my mobile tethering. I have updated software with no problems
Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager
That's at least half good news. Finally I dare say for that kernel mess.
As to the wifi, make sure you didn't put your laptop into airplane mode or otherwise turned the radio off. Run
Code: Select all
rfkill
Code: Select all
inxi -n
/var/lib/dkms/ndiswrapper/1.59/build/make.log
log file. Maybe something went wrong there. Try
Code: Select all
sudo dkms autoinstall
sudo dkms status

Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager
Ok, I guess the Mint 17 version has mandatory parameters, so it would have been
rfkill list
.However, seems your card's driver isn't getting loaded, anyway:
We need some more details, please run:
Code: Select all
uname -r
Code: Select all
lspci -v | grep AR9565 -A10
Code: Select all
lsmod | grep 211
Code: Select all
dmesg | grep ath9k
Code: Select all
sudo modprobe ath9k
Guess we forgot to clean up the old dkms stuff. Whatever, might do it later for style points.
Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager
hey thanks
output for uname -r
4.4.0-111-generic
output for uname -r

modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:556 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.4.0-111-generic/modules.dep.bin'
Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager
Let me stop you right there. So you're still on the old kernel. You should have installed the latest kernel version in one of the previous posts. Did it not install? Check:
Code: Select all
dpkg-query -W -f '${Package}\n' | grep "^linux-image-"
If you don't have the latest kernel installed, go Update Manager > View > Linux kernels and install the latest version yourself (let's celebrate that you don't need my terminal commands anymore ). Reboot.
Check wifi with the latest kernel.
Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager
I'm really lost now as the kernel that the command you ask me to run showed 4.4.0-111-generic . I tried the hold shift after bio but nothing happened so whent to update manager and it shows 4.4.0-98-generic as the latest kernel available to download, but i remember that yesterday there were problems with kernel 4.4.0-124-generic and 127?
Any ideas?

Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager
Erm, no, that's too weird for me to understand as well. Maybe your selected mirror is dead?

changed mirros 2 times still showing 98 as the latest
Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager
Hmm. what does it say if you do
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get linux-image-extra-4.4.0-134-generic
Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager

Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager
Sorry, that was my goof, like this:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-4.4.0-134-generic
Ideally not at all, just clean install 19.
See here for a current anecdote (not a guide) on how to go the upgrade route: viewtopic.php?f=60&t=277741&p=1529413
So, yeah, read that and then agree with me on clean install please, I don't want to talk you through that mess of an upgrade.
