I think i'm seeing the same problem. Actually i'm setting up an old laptop with an old nvidia graphics card and do not need a very minor update to the installed kernel.
So how can i stop the system trying to install new kernels? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1466980 Title: package linux-image-3.13.0-55-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Installed forcepae ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-55-generic (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-39.66-generic 3.13.11.8 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-39-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.11 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: dave 1944 F.... pulseaudio Date: Fri Jun 19 15:43:30 2015 DuplicateSignature: package:linux-image-3.13.0-55-generic:(not installed):subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 ErrorMessage: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=8f3482d3-a72f-46a9-8357-ac1b85b91afe InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-06-17 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu MATE 14.04.1 "Trusty Tahr" - final i386 (20141111) MachineType: Sony Corporation PCG-Z1VAP(UC) PccardctlIdent: Socket 0: no product info available PccardctlStatus: Socket 0: no card ProcFB: 0 radeondrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-39-generic root=UUID=39a16f4c-90c7-4925-9d11-31afa9af75f9 ro focepae quiet splash vt.handoff=7 PulseList: Error: command ['pacmd', 'list'] failed with exit code 1: No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.
