[06:58] <dennis81> Hi 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] <dennis81> linux-image-6.2.0-21-generic
[07:08] <dennis81> I 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 anomally
[07:41] <guiverc> Ubuntu 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 media
[07:41] <guiverc> dennis81, ^
[08:18] <dennis81> thank you for you reaction. I think I installed 23.04 and upgraded to 23.10, that would explain the 6.2 kernel. 
[09:41] <knstn> I 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] <knstn> I have deleted "/var/lib/PackageKit/transactions.db" and repaired PackageKit, but I get the notification every time.
[09:50] <PaulW2U> knstn: I think that a known bug you're seeing: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/2024392
[09:50] -ubottu:#ubuntu-next- Launchpad bug 2024392 in gnome-software (Ubuntu) "Gnome-software displays notification about OS upgrade on each boot" [Undecided, Confirmed]
[10:48] <dennis81> is there any way I can get this kernel out of 23.10? It's locking up apt every time. 
[10:50] <tomreyn> dennis81: can you show what this looks like?
[10:51] <tomreyn> (on a pastebin)
[10:51] <tomreyn> also show your attempts to remove it and the output given there.
[10:53] <tomreyn> (generally, i'd second what has been said on doing a fresh install, however)
[11:44] <dennis81> yes, 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] <dennis81> if i run apt upgrade, the first two messages give me:
[11:44] <dennis81> etc/grub.d/proxifiedScripts/linux: 1: version_find_latest: not found
[11:44] <dennis81> dpkg: error processing package memtest86+ (--configure):
[11:45] <dennis81>  installed memtest86+ package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127
[11:45] <dennis81> it ends with:
[11:45] <dennis81> /etc/grub.d/proxifiedScripts/linux: 1: version_find_latest: not found
[11:45] <dennis81> dpkg: error processing package memtest86+ (--configure):
[11:45] <dennis81>  installed memtest86+ package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127
[11:45] <dennis81>  Errors were encountered while processing:
[11:46] <dennis81>  memtest86+
[11:46] <dennis81> plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo
[11:46] <dennis81> grub-pc
[11:46] <dennis81> grub2
[11:46] <dennis81> linux-image-6.2.0-21-generic
[11:46] <dennis81> linux-image-6.5.0-5-generic
[11:46] <dennis81> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[15:55] <tomreyn> dennis81: the first thing to fix would be the grub script and the memtest86+ package (just reinstalling it may help)
[17:35] <dennis81> I tried, reinstalling (apt) and reconfiguring (dpkg --configure) grub-pc/grub2. I think there are references to that 6.2.0-21 kernel
[17:38] <dennis81> reinstalling memtest86+ gives:
[17:38] <dennis81> dpkg: error processing package memtest86+ (--configure):
[17:39] <dennis81> and gives eventually the same error as above, so for the memtest, plymouth, grub-pc, grub2, etc.
[21:11] <howarth> Is 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.
[21:12] <howarth> It seems like a rather awkward bug considering the Ubuntu still defaults the nvidia drivers to use X11.
