So, somehow this thing worked itself out. I don't know what I did other than force an additional security update that was held back
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get upgrade
and then running
Code:
update-initramfs -u
Apparently this whole god-awful experience maybe stems from fully shutting down without rebooting and shutting down a second time before cloning the boot drive. I don't know for sure really. Now my openvpn connectivity has a DNS problem and I don't really know why. The VPN clients connect to the server but there is no Internet access or external pinging going on. So some kind of DNS problem now.
