Here is my console output when I installed the upstream Linux kernel header and image .deb files, on Ubuntu 14.04.4.
I will still be rebooting my system after this to see if the install worked. Just thought I'd provide this in case it helps. ---------- nicholas@Nicholas:~/Downloads/Linux Kernel Test/v4.7-rc3-yakkety$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Selecting previously unselected package linux-headers-4.7.0-040700rc3.
