I would like to provide you with a workaround, how I fixed that issue on my Dell XPS 14z:
$ sudo modprobe i8k force=1 If that works add the "options i8k force=1" on the new line to /etc/modprobe.d/options: $ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/options And try to repeat steps that were failing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1391541 Title: package i8kutils 1.41 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/i8kutils/+bug/1391541/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
