Thanks for the reply. I tried the steps you mentioned several times and eventually ended up with a clean update.
The main reason for the update was two fold. 1. The /boot partition was full. I had to manually clear out old versions of Linux to get enough space for the updates to complete. This happens on Kubuntu when the user takes security updates automatically, the new Linux uimages are added but the old ones are not removed. In my opinion, a command like "sudo apt-get autoremove -y" should be run after new Linux images have been added. 2. Something went wrong with the update and the wireless driver no longer worked. The output of iwconfig shows this problem. In then end, I did a full upgrade from 14.04LTS to 16.04LTS and my daughter's laptop is working again. Thanks again for your help.
