Ascii kernel update borks laptop

Ascii running on a Gateway NV57H63u (Yep, just about a decade old now) somehow could not reach the desktop after updating to the latest kernel. (linux-image-4.9.0-16-amd64{a}) It would boot and allow login, but after that it would hang indefinitely without showing the desktop. Using the 'advanced options' to boot to the previous kernel, I purged the 'update' and it now boots fine again to that previous kernel. (linux-image-4.9.0-15-amd64{a})

Weirdly, when I told aptitude to purge that '16' version of the kernel, it complained that there were unmet dependencies. That might explain the hang, but is a bit frightening. A kernel package was not constructed properly? Ouch...

Has there been any other notice of this problem? I hope my laptop is not so obscure that no one else has seen this. How can I tell when it's safe to update the kernel again? Will that '16' package be amended? Or will there just be a '17' to fix any problems? In the meantime, is there a way to get other updates while not allowing the kernel to update? Isn't there a 'hold' command for the apt packaging system?

Should not be a problem.
I run ascii 4.19.0-16-686-pae on an Asus 1000HE 2Gb.
ie: SMP Debian 4.19.181-1 (2021-03-19) i686 GNU/Linux.

Unless I'm mistaken, the unmet dependecies warning is for your actual ie: working kernel, not the one you are updating to.

Open a terminal and (as root) do:

apt autoclean

Then do:

apt install -f

Please post the output of this.
It will have information needed to find out what is going on.

Best,

Just did my weekly apt update && apt upgrade.
Besides getting apparmor yet again* (like a very persistent case of the clap) got linux-image-4.19.0-17-686-pae.

Boots and loads desktop without issues.

* Happens with every #%&" kernel update, in spite of apparmor not being installed in my system and having apparmor=0 in my kernel command line.
Is there no remedy for this?

Best,

It thinks the version '14' kernel is obsolete, which I guess it is, but says nothing about the current version '15' kernel. I purged the '16' version that cause the problems, of course. When I ran apt-get update, there was no return of that kernel either. Odd, I would have expected it to be listed again. I learned about the 'hold' option, but have not used it yet.

Does it save X.Org.log past the last boot? All I could find was the current version and the .old from the previous boot, which is after I had purged the problematic kernel. Where would it put any older saves?

Not necessarily.

Please open a terminal, do ~$ uname -a and post the result.
That will tell us exactly what kernel version you are booting from.

Right.
You are running kernel version 4.9.0-15.

Open a terminal and (as root/sudo) do:

~$ sudo apt update --dry-run

This will simulate an update, please post the output.*

Then (as root/sudo) do:

~$ sudo apt upgrade --dry-run

This will simulate an upgrade, please post the output.*

* Please post the output as code.

Re: Ascii kernel update borks laptop

It complains that "apt upgrade --dry-run" is not a valid combination of options. Without the --dry-run, it just updates the package databases. Did you mean something else? The other works, but doesn't seem to produce any new information.

My bad.

Yes it does.

From what I see, the package icedtea-netx has been kept back and when a package is kept back it is because there is a dependency problem.

Open a terminal and do:

~$ apt list | grep installed | grep icedtea

This will tell you which icedtea-netx version is installed.

Then do:

apt-cache rdepends --installed $icedtea-netx

This will tell you which package is asking for icedtea-netx.

Best,

Re: Ascii kernel update borks laptop

Well, Linux command line programs are ingenius in their ability to find nitpicks in commands. I couldn't figure out how to get apt-cache to not interpret the - inside a file name as a command switch.

root@nautilus:~# apt list | grep installed | grep icedtea

No ...

It was because it was late and I did not test the stanza first.
Command line stanzas must use the correct syntax to work.

The correct one is this:

~$ apt-cache depends icedtea-netx

It will get you the package's dependencies.

Then this one will get you the package's dependencies as well as the dependencies of the dependencies.
ie: the dependency tree.

~$ apt-cache rdepends icedtea-netx

My apologies for the slip.
Please run those and post the result.

  Replaces: <openjdk-6-jre-headless>

From what I understand, the latest (kept back) version of icedtea-netx breaks openjdk-6-jre and openjdk-6-jre-headless.

Open a terminal and as sudo/root do:

apt list | grep installed | grep openjdk-

and 

apt list | grep installed | grep icedtea-

This will show us what openjdk- and icedtea- packages are installed.

Please post the result.

Best,

Right ....

Let's try doing this:

~# apt install icedtea-netx-common  --dry-run

This should tell us if it will fix part/all of the dependency issues as it should drag in updated versions of openjdk-6-jre and openjdk-6-jre-headless.

Please post the output.

Best,

Does it save X.Org.log past the last boot? All I could find was the current version and the .old from the previous boot, which is after I had purged the problematic kernel. Where would it put any older saves?

Those are the only saved files. Upgrade to the new kernel, reproduce the error then reboot into the working kernel and post the .old file.

I have no idea where to find the display manager log

My search engine tells me you should check /var/log/lightdm or /var/log/slim.log.

Re: Ascii kernel update borks laptop

Fatigue got me. I didn't see any chance of progress so I just gave up. Anyway, for the sake of completion, here is the output. Still nothing useful.

root@nautilus:~# apt install icedtea-netx-common  --dry-run
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
icedtea-netx-common is already the newest version (1.6.2-3.1+deb9u1).
icedtea-netx-common set to manually installed.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  linux-image-4.9.0-14-amd64
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove it.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

But... there has been another kernel update since this one that cause the weird problem. For some reason, it was not installed even though the headers were. (That's how I know about it.) Why? I did not use the hold command. I just purged the kernel version that was causing the problem. Could I install it manually? I'm thinking of trying that, and if it still cause the problem, at least I can get the xorg.log that is produced.

Re: Ascii kernel update borks laptop

If you download the file without installing you could find the package in /var/cache/apt/archives/

then you may install it with dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/(package-name)

I hope this helps

Re: Ascii kernel update borks laptop

Well, I think I will get the full package name using search and just do an install -- if that is an allowed way to install a kernel. Since the core of the OS is different from any other binary, I was not sure if that was an OK way to do it. Hopefully there won't be any hairy dependency problems...

Re: Ascii kernel update borks laptop

Yes, I was able to install the latest updated of the version 16 kernel and it works. Interesting note: One of the messages I saw scroll by as it was installing was about uninstalling icedtea-netx. Hmm... Since this was a solo install, no other packages being processed, that had to be triggered by the kernel install.
