I just found a solution. I was running Ubuntu on my Nvidia Graphics card. I tried switching back to the Build-in Intel Graphics with the Nvidia Control Center and ran dpkg --configure -a
This time things did work. The kernel configuration didn't hang anymore and everything is working fine again. Still, it's a pretty weird issue, but might be related to DKMS or the Nvidia DKMS module specifically... -- 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/1686107 Title: Latest kernel update gets stuck Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Zesty: Confirmed Bug description: I just installed the latest kernel update (4.10.0-20), but it gets stuck on the following line: Examining /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d. run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms 4.10.0-20-generic /boot/vmlinuz-4.10.0-20-generic I can't finish the update process now.
