You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these. .........................................i have tried this
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
linux-image-extra-4.4.0-134-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-134-generic but it is not installed
linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-174-generic but it is not installed or
linux-image-unsigned-4.4.0-174-generic but it is not installed
linux-modules-extra-4.4.0-174-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-174-generic but it is not installed or
linux-image-unsigned-4.4.0-174-generic but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

I would simplify the issue. Since you would have to upgrade to 18.04 then 20.04 is coming out in a few months. I would just wait and go with a clean install of 20.04. Backup everything of course first.

Some additional information please

uname -a
dpkg -l | grep linux | awk '{print $1,$2}'
df -h -x squashfs -x tmpfs
The first command gives the current running kernel.
The second command gives the names and status of linux packages on the system.
The third gives the disk space used.

You might try


sudo apt install linux-image-4.4.0-134-generic

If it works then should work


sudo apt-get -f install

If not post the output.

You might also want to try


sudo dpkg --configure -a
