[LAPTOP] Error while upgrading Kubuntu 17.10 to 18.04.

Got firmware missing, dkms.conf not found and cannot find swap while upgrading from Kubuntu 17.10 to Kubuntu 18.04. Please help. Thanks in advance.

I'm posting this alternate link as I am getting error on paste.ubuntu.com

I think at this point it would be better to back up important files and download the .iso and do a complete fresh install. I have never really had a good clean upgrade from one major release to another. Seems something always goes wrong. JMHO.
Even if you get a good upgrade you still end up with a lot of loose 17.10 items in your system.

Hi ChaturBauka,

your paste to ubuntu.com works ok.

As a start, apart from the errors/warnings you shared, how does your Kubuntu 18.04 behave after upgrade?...
If it behaves normally, then you shouldn't worry too much

That said, this particular warning is a bit worrying anyway:
W: initramfs-tools configuration sets RESUME=UUID=0ccd1659-2a73-4461-96f0-86934ab343cc
W: but no matching swap device is available.

Can you run the following two commands one after the other (no need for root privileges) and check if UUIDs match?
grep swap /etc/fstab
lsblk -f | grep swap

The reason could be that there is a reference to a swap partition in your /etc/fstab that doesn't match any existing partition/UUID... In that case, you should replace the wrong UUID for the swap partition in /etc/fstab with its correct UUID (as listed by the lsblk command above).

Regarding...
Error! The dkms.conf for this module includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which
does not match this kernel/arch. This indicates that it should not be built.

I'm not particularly knowledgeable with DKMS, but the last part of the message seems to indicate that your kernel/arch does NOT require some module building... Anyone please correct me if my understanding is wrong, but it doesn't look like a real issue I'd say...

Lastly, about your AMD GPU: not an issue neither IMO if no proprietary driver is available for it (and no surprise since AMD rewrote their driver from scratch a few years ago and as a - sad - consequence no longer support older cards - "older" being Radeon R7 cards for instance, which as a matter of fact is what I own).
Unless my understanding is wrong again, since a "firmware" is mentioned here, not a driver... What's your card model?
