Brian, Dell's dkms modules will fail to build unless the beginning of the kernel Makefile looks something like this:
VERSION = 3 PATCHLEVEL = 13 SUBLEVEL = 0 EXTRAVERSION = -63-2015091101 -- 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/1488672 Title: [Dell Inspiron 3451] Kernel panic after updating kernel Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have the Dell Inspiron 3451 14" preinstalled with Ubuntu with a 64 bit Intel® Pentium® Processor N3540. An update from about a month ago causes my machine to have a kernel panic on reboot. If I do a factory reset, it works fine, but when I run updates on the "fresh install," the problems comes back. I replaced the hard drive, and tried reinstalling stock Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit, and the problem persisted. I can install 32 bit Ubuntu 14.04.03, and updates do not cause kernel panics now, but I do not have a functioning trackpad.
