In addition to what I said in comment #59... If what I wrote does not work for you and the other "solutions" are too complicated for your time sensitive schedules (as they are for me), then I recommend that you reinstall Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on your computer as I had to. This, I think, will clear up any "dependency" issues related to kernals. Then faithfully follow my instructions in comment # 59 above. This has worked for me so far. Occasionally the sudo apt-get process in comment # 59 seems to fail, but I've ignored those little hiccups and just tried again and once again it seems to work (fingers crossed, eyes crossed, and for Bill Canaday in comment # 57... flying fickle fingers crossed.). Until someone wiser and techier comes along, good luck fellow Ubuntu brothers and sistas. P.S. Please let me know how this works for you.
