Hi, I am having some trouble running a pretty standard kernel update on my system Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. I downloaded and ran the install through the software updater program but it froze during configuration at the lines:
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.elf
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
I killed the process and tried to run
~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
