Kernel Update 6.1.0-18 Failed

[guido]

So I had some updates in update manager and ran the updates but the kernel failed to install. So, I decided to install the backport kernel and got the same error. How do I go about fixing this issue?

If you have synaptic installed you should be able to search for "kernel" and find one you want to install there??

Weird, but when I rebooted and entered the advanced grub boot options, it shows both kernels got installed. So why the the errors?
I booted into the 6.5 kernel and seems good. Hmmm?
Is there a way to tell if it got installed properly?

There is a bug with the latest 6.1.0.18 kernel update and nvidia cards.
Boot to 6.1.0.17 from the advanced settings in Grub. Uninstall --if you want-- 6.1.0.18: sudo apt remove --purge linux-image-6.1.0-18-amd64 linux-headers-6.1.0-18* and skip/hold back kernels updates waiting for a fix.

@MiZoG:

Thanks for the link and suggestion . . . perhaps that might explain what happened to my LMDE install with recent apt . . . ?? But it showed no dpkg errors . . . possibly because I use nouveau?? But then I always run "autoremove" after every apt dist-upgrade . . . just because.

I'm thinking that it will be difficult to get back into the LMDE / at this point, to try to check which kernel was running . . . although, as mentioned in my thread of my issues, I didn't see any kernel package mentioned in the listing of packages . . . .

Amazingly, I was able to get back to LMDE and ran an apt and in there was the kernel -18 upgrade listed, so I declined to move forward with it. Any ideas on when a fix will be coming through? Since I just had some problems with LMDE I'm not in the mood to "see what happens" if I just run the upgrade.

I guess if it goes on for weeks then locking the -18 kernel out might let the other packages move on up?
