Kernel update, can't install latest version

[drumone]

This last week I started having problems after Livepatch tried to do updates to the latest kernel version. If I allow the system to boot up normally, it goes to a black/blank screen and won't do anything else. If I boot into Linux 6.8.0-39 generic, everything is fine. I keep receiving warnings that installation or removal of packages has failed. Anyone have any ideas what's going on? I'm stumped.

I should add that I've tried to manually update and upgrade. My latest attempt to do so can be seen below.

That's a very old kernel and no longer supported.
What version of Ubuntu is it?

[drumone]

My apologies, I should have added that too. I was incorrect about the kernel version (which I corrected above - 6.8.0-39). The OS is 24.04. I've been using Ubuntu for years, usually without problem. This one has me at a bit of a loss.

[deadflowr]

FTR, the kernel version posted in the original post was 6.0.39, so others won't think I'm nuts.

No one thinks your nuts, I currently have that title.....LOL
@drumone, if it were me I would also remove duplicate sources: in "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/"

@drumone, if it were me I would also remove duplicate sources: in "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/"

I would be happy to... if I knew how. I saw that info, but wasn't quite sure what to do with it. I don't normally go around tweaking things without instructions from someone far more knowledgeable than myself. How would I go about safely identifying and removing the duplicates mentioned?

I haven't been on jammy for a few years now, so lets prepare for the worst, and back up that /directory first.

 sudo cp -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d  /etc/apt/sources.list.d.bk

Now will you please run this and tell me it works as in your first thread:

sudo apt update

I don't need to see it, just you confirm it is still identical to your first post.

[drumone]

Yup. It all looks the same as before. Lots of things configured multiple times.
