[nhatnhan]

I was installing GTX driver and then the power down so the laptop shutdown.

the error popped up, i ran sudo dpkg --configure -a as it suggested but
things stoped here:

nhatnhan; Hello -

Looks like it completed building on an old kernel.
Latest kernel is:


4.15.0-23-generic


so, show us the results - Between code Tags - of terminal commands:


sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

code tag tutorial:

from here we see what the next step in the process might be.

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[deadflowr]

Run the suggested command:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
if it runs normal then great, if it still has problems post the output from that command.

[nhatnhan]

yep i did and i received the thing i posted above then it stopped there.

[nhatnhan]

@Basing-om

somehow i managed to resolve the "dpkg was interupted"
but when i ran


sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade



the updating process stopped at 85%
this is the last bit in my terminal:

[nhatnhan]

I solved it,

I used the ubuntu app Software & Update to recover the thing ( my initial problem )
then i used this as suggeted by Basing-om


sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
lastly this one


sudo dpkg --configure -a


things got back to normal

Thank you guys,
hope this helps:D

nhatnhan; outstading -

You do good work :)
And thanks for providing your solution.



'buntu


all in this together

[con10t]

Happy some ubunewbies like myself got the 'sudo apt full-upgrade' Error sorted with 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'.

Didn't work for my Thinkpad w. nvidia Quadro P4000 Mobile GPU running ubuntustudio 18.4. :(

The 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' command hangs at *Building initial module for 4.15.0-24-lowlatency*

The entire log following the above command is:

I am running dual boot with windows 10 on my new 'beast', but stuck at this point. Any idea how to get 'dpkg' working?

con10t; Well.

We just see about that ,, and see what we can do to unravel the sloppyation.

Post back - between code tags - the outputs of terminal commands:


sudo dkms status
sudo lshw -C display

ls -al /boot/

These I expect to point us in the direction of what is not going on.

felstrasse; Hello -

Your issue does not appear to be graphic's driver related, you only have Intel for the chip set and a driver is loaded.
Let's isolate this to a package management issue.

Post back the results of:


sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt -f install
sudo dpkg -C


see where we go from here.



All in the process

How is this issue solved? I don't see any resolution.

I'm having a very similar problem after trying to install Virtualbox. The terminal just stops after "Building initial module for 4.15.0-23-generic" I have waited for over an hour and it hasn't moved past it. I have tried entering my password and hitting enter twice, I have tried simultaneously hitting enter & right arrow. Nothing works.

error:

Ok wildmanne39. I thought the 2 scenarios were similar and to open a new thread with the same info would be redundant. Thank you for the feedback.

What we know:
a) the kernel 4.15.0.29.31 is only partially installed - the why we do not know
b) we have the nouveau driver for nvidia display chip set; yet it is blacklisted- and again, we do not know why

Things have changed under systemd and I have yet to learn where the nouveau blacklisting takes place, so this too will be a learning process for me.

Presently we need to know what kernel you are booting and the state of the package manager:


uname -r
df -h
df -i
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt -f install

What happens when the system attempts to update its self ?

and what role does the nvidia driver may play in this - if any


dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia




all in the process

[flocculant]

we have the nouveau driver for nvidia display chip set; yet it is blacklisted- and again, we do not know why

Check /etc/modprobe.d/ for an nvidia.conf file

what results now:


sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt -f install
sudo dpkg -C
