Title:
new kernel removed after upgrade if linux meta package not installed
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Wily:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Test Case
---------
1) Remove the linux-generic package as software-properties does LP: #1506169
2) upgrade from vivid to wily and reboot
3) observe that you are still running the vivid (3.19.0) kernel
One could also confirm that linux-image-4.2.0-16.19-generic was
removed (see /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log) instead of rebooting.
With the version of the release upgrader from -proposed this will not
happen.
Original Description
--------------------------------------------------------------
Could someone confirm if this is a duplicate of bug nr. 1508157
I have the exact same issue and precondition to my knowledge.
I too had nvidia propiertary drivers installed:
nvidia-settings -q NvidiaDriverVersion
Attribute 'NvidiaDriverVersion' (ubu1504desk:0.0): 352.41
Attribute 'NvidiaDriverVersion' (ubu1504desk:0[gpu:0]): 352.41
Upgrading from Vivid -> Wily the package linux-image-generic seem to
get uninstalled. I end up with a kernel beeing the same as the one I
had just before the upgrade ("ingen" is danish for "none" - should
have changed the language):
apt-cache policy linux-image-generic
linux-image-generic:
Installeret: (ingen)
Kandidat: 4.2.0.16.18
Versionstabel:
4.2.0.16.18 0

cat /etc/issue && uname -a
Ubuntu 15.10 \n \l

UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I have to add that when I ran ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core
to report this bug I had installed the package linux-image-generic in
the meantime. So you will see that I'm on that kernel now, but I had
to install it manually.
