An Error Occurred While Applying Changes Error Msg

I selected one of the 3 series and it's been stuck in this window at 60% for approx 5 minutes.

Now it's very slowly advancing. Is this how it will be for each of the several 3 series removals. If it is; it is.

[Snowhog]

It may take awhile. Just be patient and let the process run its course.

[logan01]

Faster now. 3-4 of them removed.

[logan01]

All of the 3.x linux-headers are removed. I must restart to complete the process. Do not remove "older" 4.x headers? As stated earlier, it automatically removed 4.4.0-97 when I clicked the Installed (auto-removable button). The newest one behind -98 is now -93. Awaiting further.

[Snowhog]

That's fine. You are using the -98 of the 4.4 kernel, and the -93 is a prior release. Not sure why the -97 version was removed, as it was the immediately prior version, but that's okay.

[oshunluvr]

No need to reboot yet. Before continuing, verify which kernel you're running and make sure you have the image and headers for it installed. Then keep removing until you have only -98 remaining - assuming that's what you've booted to. Then re-install -97 so you have a backup kernel.

Open a terminal and type ls /boot to see what images are still installed.

[logan01]

Have not rebooted. here's the list.

I see it's still showing -97 however it's not showing in muon. Because I haven't rebooted?

[logan01]

It shows I'm running 97. Perhaps 98 was loading, ran out of space, got rid of my first 3.x, that opened up room for -98 but it's not running because I haven't rebooted?

Not rushing anyone. Awaiting further instructions.

[oshunluvr]

The kernels are still there, you've just removed the headers. The quickest way to remove all the 3.19 junk may be to let dpkg select them for you. Try this in a terminal:

sudo apt autoremove

and LOOK CAREFULLY THROUGH THE LIST to be sure that 4.4.0-97 and 4.4.0-98 are not in there. If they are, don't continue. If you do continue, then that should free enough space to redo your failed update.

Then go through the 4.4 kernels and start removing. You have two sets of 4.4 kernels - one EFI and one not. If you're booting EFI you should be able to delete the others, but someone with EFI experience will have to verify that.

[logan01]

I get the following:

14.04 doesn't have 'apt'; it still uses apt-get.

[logan01]

Command not found: sudo apt.get autoremove

Guess that was wrong cmd (by me).

My bad. try again.

[GreyGeek]

apt-get

Which is what I specified. A - isn't a .
