Sorry, I misread something before. I thought you were running 16.04 now. You are running 14.04, so 3.13 is the correct kernel, it is not an "old" kernel for that release.
Do you need to have casper installed? If not, the easiest thing to do would be to uninstall casper, then run the upgrade again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879077 Title: package linux-firmware 1.157.23 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Status in casper package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: when I am trying to upgrade to 16.04 from 14 , i am getting below error Cmd : lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS Release: 16.04 What I expected to happen -- Ubuntu upgrades to 16.04 with upgraded kernel 4.4 What happened instead : it upgraded to 16.04 but with old kernel only and my sound has stopped Setting up initramfs-tools (0.122ubuntu8.16) ... update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) Setting up linux-firmware (1.157.23) ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-38-generic E: amd64-microcode: unsupported kernel version!
