In general, it seems that for some reason there was a period of time (on a different box update-manager would offer me the complete set of packages) when for some unknown reason update-manager would offer only the minimal kernel and modules. This causes all sorts of HW related issues if the driver modules are either in the extra package or (like in the case of nvidia binary driver) are built on the system after updating the kernel (but that requires the headers).
For a start, when was the kernel update (for the 4.4.0-77 kernel which broke things) being offered? Yesterday at some point? And if anyone can remember, was there any hint shown that this would not be complete (like partial upgrade)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687623 Title: 4.4.0-77-generic breaks internet on 16.04.2 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Xenial: In Progress Bug description: Hi as per title today I updated to 4.4.0-77-generic on my Lubuntu 16.04.02 and wifi is not working anymore. When I click on the network manager I see "enable networking" (which is toggled) but no more the option about wifi. I reported this on ubuntuforum: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2360216 Where a user suggested to revert to an older kernel and see if this fixes the problem. I managed to revert to 4.4.0-75-generic via grub and everything works perfectly. Another user reported a similar issue caused by the same upgrade on the same system: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2360215 Can someone else confirm this bug?
