Graphical update failed for me today. on

Code:

System:    Host: misohorny1 Kernel: 4.4.0-linuxlite i686 (32 bit)
           Desktop: Xfce 4.11.8 Distro: Ubuntu 14.04 trusty

So I first opened synaptic and selected fix broken packages. Even though nothing showed broken at the bottom of the synaptic window box. Next. Close down synaptic. Then I opened a terminal and did

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Let it finish. Then

Code:

sudo apt-get -f install
harry@misohorny1:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

The link /vmlinuz.old is a damaged link
Removing symbolic link vmlinuz.old
you may need to re-run your boot loader[grub]
The link /initrd.img.old is a damaged link
Removing symbolic link initrd.img.old
you may need to re-run your boot loader[grub]

So I move on and double check grub

Code:

sudo update-grub

Then double check for errors

Hopefully fixed now. Not feeling like a reinstall or a upgrade to a later Linux-Lite version yet. Just showing how I handled this bug report

Seems to be a Nvidia bug. Anyways. I hope I fixed it.

Code:

$ sudo -i
# apt-get dist-upgrade

I get this from time to time. It get's fixed through updates, then reappears again later.
If people are using Install Updates they won't see it on 3.x

Quite innocuous.
