Live-USB: Update error of "nux-image-2.6.27-7-generic (2.6.27-7.16)"

[Liger_XT5]

I've gotten 8.1 working on USB about a week ago and playing with it off and on over the week. When I first got it up and running, there was about 27 updates and I let it go with one update not working. I didn't find this a problem and ignored it at the time.

I recently installed the Restricted Files so I may listen to music and other misc. stuff a soon to be high school graduate does. I still could not listen to basic music files, .mp3 for an example, and decided to try doing so from the terminal.

I've done some looking on the net about this issue and found that some people have fixed it one way or another, but since I'm roughly a new linux user, I found my self confused.

Any questions you may have, don't hesitate to ask. I'm learning how to use Kubuntu and enjoying it as I go.

Update:
Still researching the problem and found here, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/292159, a work around.

in brief
"A bit of digging has revealed that the /usr/sbin/update-initramfs script is a stub on the live CD (or the bootable USB drive made from a live CD). The original version can be found in:

/rofs/usr/sbin/update-initramfs
so you can (as root):
mv /usr/sbin/update-initramfs /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.old
and then:
ln -s /rofs/usr/sbin/update-initramfs /usr/sbin/update-initramfs
"
Thanks to latchkeyed for providing this info.

I typed in
sudo su
then
mv /usr/sbin/update-initramfs /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.old
and
ln -s /rofs/usr/sbin/update-initramfs /usr/sbin/update-initramfs
and I got no message in return, put in apt-get upgrade and the error returned.

Suggestions?
(I accidentally clicked notify by mistake, my apologises, honest)
I am updated this post as I play around in an attempt to figure it out as I wait for outside suggestions.

>>>>> Update:
I can now listen to music. I followed this
First typed
sudo su
then followed this:

thx

as root:

mv /usr/sbin/update-initramfs /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.old

and...

ln -s /rofs/usr/sbin/update-initramfs /usr/sbin/update-initramfs

and then

sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic

worked just fine for me with ubuntu persistent install to flash drive.

Restarted the pc, tried
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
once again, restarted the computer and now I can play mp3's

I know it's the weekend and no one helped me at this time, but you could look at this as a log of how I tried to figure the problem out.
Now to get the Current version of WoW to work...
