dennis81Hi all, I've run into an issue while testing ubuntu 23.10 with an issue that removing an old kernel won't succeed. I have looked to find bug reports, but on this kernel there can't be much found. I have tried the usual stuff. Can I ask for help here?06:58
dennis81linux-image-6.2.0-21-generic06:58
dennis81I normally don't use any other kernels so I think it might be a bug in 23.10, but it might be from the pre-beta period so it might be an anomally07:08
guivercUbuntu mantic is using the 6.5 kernel (not 6.2), and prior to 6.5 used 6.3; you likely manually installed it dennis81  ; are you using a (month+) old install media; I'd suggest using current media07:41
guivercdennis81, ^07:41
dennis81thank you for you reaction. I think I installed 23.04 and upgraded to 23.10, that would explain the 6.2 kernel. 08:18
knstnI updated to 23.10 and every time I login, I got a notification = "Software Update Installed: An important OS update has been installed"09:41
knstnI have deleted "/var/lib/PackageKit/transactions.db" and repaired PackageKit, but I get the notification every time.09:41
PaulW2Uknstn: I think that a known bug you're seeing: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/202439209:50
-ubottu:#ubuntu-next- Launchpad bug 2024392 in gnome-software (Ubuntu) "Gnome-software displays notification about OS upgrade on each boot" [Undecided, Confirmed]09:50
dennis81is there any way I can get this kernel out of 23.10? It's locking up apt every time. 10:48
tomreyndennis81: can you show what this looks like?10:50
tomreyn(on a pastebin)10:51
tomreynalso show your attempts to remove it and the output given there.10:51
tomreyn(generally, i'd second what has been said on doing a fresh install, however)10:53
dennis81yes, I know a reinstall will do the trick. I have 2 installs on my laptop exactly for this purpose as after ~2 upgrades the system becomes borky.. But if I can fix this, i can delay that process for another while and go for 24.04. 11:44
dennis81if i run apt upgrade, the first two messages give me:11:44

tomreyndennis81: the first thing to fix would be the grub script and the memtest86+ package (just reinstalling it may help)15:55
dennis81I tried, reinstalling (apt) and reconfiguring (dpkg --configure) grub-pc/grub2. I think there are references to that 6.2.0-21 kernel17:35
dennis81reinstalling memtest86+ gives:17:38
dennis81dpkg: error processing package memtest86+ (--configure):17:38
dennis81and gives eventually the same error as above, so for the memtest, plymouth, grub-pc, grub2, etc.17:39
howarthIs anyone else finding the the Help application in Mantic produces empty windows under the nvidia-driver-535 video drivers when running X11? If I switch the login to use Wayland, the Help application displays its content as expected.21:11
howarthIt seems like a rather awkward bug considering the Ubuntu still defaults the nvidia drivers to use X11.21:12
