Also encountered very similar problem. I'm using Acer Aspire V7 laptop with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. An update popped up, but I wasn't quite aware of what the update was about.
Restarted my computer, and then both wifi and ethernet connections stopped working. The situation matches with the bug description. "Enable Networking" checked, but no "Enable Wi-Fi". Both wireless and ethernet cards were detected, but no kernel modules seemed to be in use. Also, screen brightness could not be changed. The Logitech wireless mouse and the laptop touch screen stopped working. Same as what's mentioned, no such problems if after reverting to 4.4.0-75-generic. -- 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
