I upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 on my ASUS X201E laptop to Ubuntu 18.04, but now I can boot only with the Ubuntu 16.04 kernel (4.4). I can't seem to boot with the kernels 4.14, 4.15, or, 4.16.



After booting with kernel 4.4, the Ubuntu 18.04 desktop successfully loads.



Any help getting one of the newer kernels working would be highly appreciated!

  • Please file a bug using ubuntu-bug linux-image-generic (or whatever kernel APT package you might have switched to in 18.04). Include many more details about what happens before and during the failure to boot with 18.04’s kernel. Include the output of apt policy linux-image-generic and include the output of uname -a while using the 16.04 kernel.

    Also, to protect the 16.04 kernel from deletion, boot with the 16.04 kernel, and run sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-$(uname -r) linux-image-extra-$(uname -r). Replace hold with unhold after booting from the 16.04 kernel once an 18.04 kernel works to stop protecting it from deletion.

How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
