Failed kernel update Mx-23 [Solved]

[Pakos]

Asked ChatGPT for help and solved the remaining issues by doing this:

Errors encountered while processing:
linux-headers-6.9.9-1-liquorix-amd64
linux-image-6.9.9-1-liquorix-amd64

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-headers-6.9.9-1-liquorix-amd64 linux-image-6.9.9-1-liquorix-amd64
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

After that, I went into "grub customizer" and removed the broken default boot entry, replacing it with the older kernel entry. Both the error in the terminal and the issue at boot up are gone. I'm not sure if I only masked the problem, but my machine is back to its previous working normal state again.

I bet if I had tried and had a little courage, I could have solved it myself. However, I was quite nervous since it went completely wrong the last time I attempted to fix it on my own. Nonetheless, I really appreciate it. Thank you so much, everyone.

Ok but if I knew that you wanted to remove the Liquorix kernel, too: You could do all of these with 1-2 clicks with "MX Cleanup".

Yes, you could do it yourself however those half installed / stuck 6.1.0-23 should've been removed this way only. Otherwise, no matter what you do (autoremove , Synaptic etc..) it would go on showing that "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" during all kinds of updates, installing/removing anything ...

Glad to hear it's ok now.


P.S. In case you want the auto-update (for the default 6.1 kernel) back: (re)install those two packages ( linux-headers-amd64 , linux-image-amd64 ), or (re)install the "Debian 64bit" kernel from MXPI ..

Oh, I assumed we needed to delete the Liquorix kernel since the installation we both were trying to achieve failed earlier.

Yes, you could do it yourself; however, those half-installed/stuck 6.1.0-23 versions should've been removed this way only. Otherwise, no matter what you do (autoremove, Synaptic, etc.), it would continue showing "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" during all kinds of updates, installations, or removals.

P.S. In case you want the auto-update (for the default 6.1 kernel) back, (re)install those two packages (linux-headers-amd64, linux-image-amd64), or (re)install the "Debian 64bit" kernel from MXPI.

It seemed to fail again, like it did with the Liquorix kernel install.

This is from MXPI:

Ok, but the the one you tried to install is 6.6.x , not the 6.1 that would auto-update . (Others won't, other than the Liquorix auto-update package).
