I had a similar issue while installing updates on my Ubuntu 17.10 x64 on Lenovo Thinkpad P50 (Nvidia Quadro M1000). The failing to install kernel was 4.13.0-31.

I had a similar problem while upgrading from Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 to 17.10 on Dell XPS 15(with GTX 1050 graphics card). The kernel version that I was trying to install was 4.13.0-25. I successfully solved the problem by killing dpkg, switching to text- only console(Ctrl+Alt+F6), and running `sudo dpkg --configure -a`. It seems like this problem is related to Nvidia driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1686107 Title: Latest kernel update gets stuck To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1686107/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same here, hosed 17.10 after kernel update to 4.13.0.19. I have LUKS and I can’t boot to see the password prompt. I can only boot back if I choose recovery mode, either with 0.19 or 0.17. Now I removed the both of these and installed an older version (0.16), still the same problem.

I am on Ubuntu 17.10 and I got the same issue.

[Bug 1686107] Re: Latest kernel update gets stuck
@ Giorgio Salluzzo Thanks for the workaround. It got me out of a real mess. I am on Ubuntu 17.10 but the same issue happened to me For any one else in a panic, stuck in the same situation, kernel half installed, this is what saved me: * Kill Synaptic with "System Monitor" * A dpkg process was left hung and was blocking further updates - So in "System Monitor" search for and kill the dpkg process that's running and locking things. - Searching the string "/var/lib/dpkg" found it for me. - It had this process "linux-headers-4.3.0-17-generic.postinst" * Here's the trick that made it work (@ Giorgio Salluzzo's workaround) Go to a virtual console CTRL+ALT+F6 Login as your user name and run this command from there $ sudo dpkg --configure -a * That alone is probably the fix but I also ran these from the same virtual terminal $ sudo apt-get install -f $ sudo apt-get clean $ sudo apt-get update * CTRL+ALT+F2 to get back to the desktop. * Then "Software Updater" popped up a message saying run a "Partial Upgrade". Which I did. But it turned out I didn't need that so it stopped itself automatically! * Then I opened Synaptic and checked for updates. None. * Back-up any user data and reboot. For me all went well. The new kernel was installed. NOTES: I tried "sudo dpkg --configure -a" in a normal Terminal but it failed. It just hung again like Synaptic did. Giorgio Salluzzo's virtual console workaround was the trick. But the virtual consoles can be weird. CTRL+ALT+F1 locks my screen (and then the monitor switches off!) When you wake the screen you can't log back in!!! You have to use CTRL+ALT+F2 to get back to the desktop. CTRL+ALT+F6 seemed to work best for me but when I tried it for the first time it was just a black screen with a cursor. When I came back later it had a promt for me to login with.

I just found a solution. I was running Ubuntu on my Nvidia Graphics card.

[Bug 1686107] Re: Latest kernel update gets stuck
Hello, thanks for the response. The system does boot and actually boots from the older kernel by default. It's just that I am unable to use apt or dpkg because it will hang when configuring the new kernel. It's an incomplete installation at this point. This also prevented me from collecting the necessary log files because I needed to install the python-apport package for that. If you need any specific log files, I can probably collect them manually. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Zesty) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1686107 Title: Latest kernel update gets stuck To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1686107/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
