The linux-4.4.0-77.98 was released to -updates only. It appears that this then lead to it being marked for phased updates. The affected people appear to have phased linux-signed only and not linux and linux- meta. This leads to linux-signed-image-4.4.0-77-generic (and its dependencies) to be installed only. This essentially leaves the user with half a kernel with many drivers missing. This leads to broken internet and the like.
We have phased this update fully to avoid this occurring to any other machines. We have also changed the release process to prevent phased kernel releases in the future. I am creating an update-manager task as this needs to be fixed as there are certainly other packages which could trigger this behaviour. update-manager should offer a correct fully phased update now once booted into the previous kernel. Also the "apt-get dist-upgrade" solution is valid and will resolve the issue. ** Summary changed: - 4.4.0-77-generic breaks internet on 16.04.2 + linux-4.4.0-77.98 was a phased update in -updates only and may become partially installed (was: 4.4.0-77-generic breaks internet on 16.04.2) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687623 Title: linux-4.4.0-77.98 was a phased update in -updates only and may become partially installed (was: 4.4.0-77-generic breaks internet on 16.04.2) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1687623/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
