I have never had a kernel update fail on any of my Linux machines before. And the resulting dialogue about the error is not the best of explanations. But it appears to be trying to install updated verions and is not successful.
AND this is my mom’s computer I set up for her last month, at her home, that I am controlling remotely. So do not want to do anything to make it not boot.
E: linux-headers-6.8.0-47-generic: installed linux-headers-6.8.0-47-generic package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 11
E: linux-headers-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-image-6.8.0-47-generic: installed linux-image-6.8.0-47-generic package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 11
I would like to just autoremove to stop the errors for every update attempt, but not sure if I should just let it be. Maybe it will be fixed down the road?
Here is the current sys info:
