sudo dpkg --configure -a not resolving blocking of synaptic & updating

[torreydale]

Open a terminal and try this first:

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-generic

Reboot.


If that doesn't help, open a terminal and do the following:

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-4.4.0 linux-image-linuxlite-4.4.0 -y

Reboot while holding the keft Shift key.  When the GRUB menu appears, use the advanced option to select the new kernel.  When you get to your desktop, you can use Lite Tweaks to remove any residual kernels.
