**fleneh** · January 29th, 2013

Hello.
I have Ubuntu 12.04. When I try to get updates via apt-get update and apt-get upgrade i recive this error: (sorry, my ubuntu is in catalan language)

The current version in the repos is 3.2.0.36.43 (or .44 in -proposed), not 3.2.0-35.55

Check that you are using a good mirror.
Then do sudo apt-get update again to refresh your sources and change the target to the current version.
Then try upgrading again.

First of all I should say that I am a noob using Ubuntu, I have been using it for 2 months.
I can't update it via apt-get update, neither from synaptic. I have tried to download the package "linux-image-generic" 3.2.0.36.43 from http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package...-image-generic but I can't install it.
btw when I try to update via synaptic I get the same error:
Error processing:
linux-image-3.2.0-35-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-36-generic
linux-image-generic
linux-generic

The forum members need to find out what is wrong with your sources.list file or possibly something else. You shouldn't need to download the current Linux kernel package for 12.04 and install it manually.

What is the output of entering

Code:

sudo apt-get update

in the terminal? Please post the output between the # {code} button tags.

What is the output of entering

Code:

sudo apt-get upgrade

in the terminal? Please post the output between the # {code} button tags.

Your problem is also requiring a Kernel upgrade; therefore, what is the output of entering

Code:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

in the terminal? Please post the output between the # {code} button tags.

If you do not fix the root cause of the problem, it will keep happening again and again.

There seems to be a typo in your /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig file.
The first few lines should look like:

Code:

#! /bin/sh
set -e

# Generate grub.cfg by inspecting /boot contents.

transform="s,x,x,"
prefix="/usr"
exec_prefix="${prefix}"
datarootdir="${prefix}/share"

prefix="/usr"
exec_prefix="${prefix}"

If yours looks different, how different? A simple typo can be fixed. Or the whole file can be manually replaced. Or the entire package can be reinstalled.

... or maybe a # (comment marker) gone missing from the top of your /etc/default/grub file?

Code:

$ head /etc/default/grub
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
#   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

This is the header of /etc/default/grub file:

Code:

 If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
#   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

There is a missing # in the top of the file. How can I change and save it?
Thanks

**steeldriver** · January 30th, 2013

GUI:

Code:

gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Command line

Code:

sudo nano  /etc/default/grub

then just type in the missing # , save and quit

Or you could just run this one-liner

Code:

sudo sed -i '1 s/.*/#&/' /etc/default/grub
