[Bug 1879077] Re: package linux-firmware 1.157.23 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Seth Forshee]

Sorry, I misread something before. I thought you were running 16.04 now.
You are running 14.04, so 3.13 is the correct kernel, it is not an "old"
kernel for that release.

Do you need to have casper installed? If not, the easiest thing to do
would be to uninstall casper, then run the upgrade again.

  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
  Release:	16.04

  
  What I expected to happen -- Ubuntu upgrades to 16.04 with upgraded kernel 4.4
     
  What happened instead : it upgraded to 16.04 but with old kernel only and my sound has stopped
