Problem updating: error processing linux-image-generic

[fleneh]

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/core/precise/main/security/linux-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
sudo apt-get updatein the terminal? Please post the output between the # {code} button tags.

What is the output of entering
sudo apt-get upgradein 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
sudo apt-get dist-upgradein 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:
#! /bin/sh
set -e

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.

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

[steeldriver]

GUI:


gksudo gedit /etc/default/grubCommand line


sudo nano /etc/default/grubthen just type in the missing # , save and quit

Or you could just run this one-liner


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

[dino99]

hey, what have you done there ?
- i'm seeing both i386 & amd64 repo
- grub installation is borked

so i'm afraid you need to clarify yourself what you want : 32 or 64 bits installation ?

please post here the output of : cat /etc/apt/sources.list

[fleneh]

I could update now without any error. There was just a # missing on the top of /etc/default/grub file. I don't know how I had changed it.
Thank you very much indeed.

dino99, this is the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list: I have 64bits

[dino99]

so you have updated grub again ? (sudo update-grub)

thats good you can update again, you're sources are clean. (i was disturbed by the spotify i386 above)

note: as this problem is now fixed, please set that thread as SOLVED using the top right Thread Tools menu.

[fleneh]

Yes I could update.
Thank you, I will add [solved] to this post.
