Today's kernel update broke network and sound

[Beerislife]

As per title. This morning I got kernel 5.15.0-53.59 and it broke both wired and wireless networking and sound on my Lenovo machine. I had to boot to the previous kernel to get back to normal!

[Snowhog]

I’ve probably asked this before, but do you have package dkms installed?

[Beerislife]

Nothing like that installed.

The previous kernel works fine though.

Is there something I need to install?

My brain has been out of it this past week. I'm still messed up from my return fright to London. I can't seem to get anything done properly.

[jlittle]

Lenovo laptop here, no problems with wifi or sound with the new kernel.

[Beerislife]

DKMS is now installed. For some reason my WiFi adaptor driver (Realtek 8821C PCIe Wi-Fi driver) was not installed although I'm sure I installed it when I installed the system. Anyway, sound and network still do not work with the new kernel.

[Beerislife]

Working system... When I get time I'll post the non working system...

On further inspection, there are no Linux Headers, or other relevant files for 5.15.0-53-generic x86_64 installed at all. There are also no packages to install. I seem to have a broken kernel package somehow!

[Beerislife]

No mention of the new kernel at all in Muon, but it is listed as broken when trying to remove it with Ukuu...

[claydoh]

Search for 'linux-image' as opposed to 'kernel' just to filter by package names, or just for '5.15.0'

But to check for some basics, let's look for any info we can find on the command line;
make sure the three basic meta-packages for kernel-related items are installed. These always depend on the current versions of various kernel packages, and will pull them in if they are not installed

sudo apt install linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic

Post any errors or anything that fails to install.

You should have these packages installed (as deps of those three above):

linux-headers-5.15.0-53 linux-headers-5.15.0-53-generic linux-image-5.15.0-53-generic
linux-modules-5.15.0-53-generic linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-53-generic

if it were just the wireless, I'd suspect a third party driver for the rtl8821ce failed to rebuild for the new kernel (dkms), or the official rtl8821ce-dkms package failed to rebuild it. But Losing three different pieces of hardware males me think some module packages failed to install for some reason.

[Beerislife]

Thanks, that seemed to help, I think.

I ran

sudo apt install linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic

and the kernel installed and finished with this message...

I am going to guess that this was the ultimate item that fixed things
But why you didn't seem to have the main meta-packages linux-generic, linux-headers-generic, and linux-image-generic is odd.
You weren't an early-upgrading guinea pig by any chance , were you?

[Beerislife]

Really, I have no idea, when I wake up bleary eyed in the morning and I see a bunch of updates I just install them.

And possibly regret it later...
