Today I tried to update my two Linux servers. on one it failed because /boot did not have enough space, which was easy to solve. But now I have different Kernels on this machines because apt update/upgrade does not try to install the newest anymore on the machine where it failed on the first try.



How can I force the update now?

apt package-management upgrade kernel

  • You get only one kernel version on the failing machine which is not normal, APT keeps at least two versions while updating. So let me ask: Has this machine ever updated the Linux kernel? Haven’t you held any packages related to kernel? How exactly did you clean the boot partition? BTW you should prepend LANG=C if you are about to post the command output (e.g. LANG=C sudo apt-get upgrade), so the output gets printed in English. I personally can understand German but others may not.

Your system is missing the linux-image-generic package and probably also linux-generic which depends on the former. You should reinstall it using the command:



sudo apt install linux-generic


The packages linux-image-generic and linux-image-4.4.0-127-generic (the currently latest version) should be included automatically to be installed by APT.

I've never really liked "Adventurer" as a job, and would like my story to have a kind of unlikely-hero vibe. besides the common "Traveling merchant", what kinds of artisans or professionals in fantasy would have a reason to move around the world (or at least visit other settlements)?
