heavyonion; Hi !

I'll start this ball rolling !
This:


Internal Error: Could not find image (/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-14-generic)

says the package manager is looking:
Show the output of terminal code:


dpkg -l | grep linux-image
ls -la /boot
lsb_release -a
uname -a


Maybe as easy as installing what the package manager wants ?



hey, it's a start

heavyonion; UUhhh,

Some one acted with out thinking it through, huh.
OK, lets do some cleanup:
let’s remove all the packages marked as rc.


dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge

Now let's see what results in an attempt to give the PM what it is asking for:


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-generic linux-image linux-image-generic
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.11.0-14-generic linux-image-extra-3.11.0-14-generic linux-headers-3.11.0-14-generic linux-headers-3.11.0-14




worth a shot

Actually I was just trying to change the repos to the Trusty Tahr Daily Builds and then when I tried to do-release-upgrade I started getting this linux image error. So I just left it alone but I ran into it every time I tried to update. I am pulling down the ISO Image of Tahr right now and I guess I can just upgrade from that or I can just start fresh. I am not too super invested in saving this Raring install because I was willing to try Tahr already witch is very unstable. Fun part is every time I jack something up I learn something new. That is why I test about 6 distro's at a time. Linux Rocks!!!
Thank you sooooo much for your time.

heavyonion; Hey,

Helping is not a problem !..
If you decide to upgrade-inplace, will have to fix this install first.



what ever works best
