Public bug reported: Acer-Aspire V3-472P-324J. Hardware : 14" Touch Screen dual-band 2.4GHz & 5.0GHz Acer Nplify wireless LAN (802.11a/b/g/n); BT 4.0; OS : Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa; Kernel: 4.4.0-96 (64 bit) MATE 1.12.0
As you can see, I am running lts-Trusty, it has repeatedly tried to install a kernel upgrade for lts-Xenial. It has filled up my boot, and I am getting messages to delete files to make room or something like that. I am a novice user. Now my software manager also does not work, it is failing installation of new software. When the kernel upgrade to 4.4.0-109 fails I get the following error messages : (synaptic:20042): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_child_watch_add_full: assertion 'pid > 0' failed Selecting previously unselected package linux-headers-4.4.0-109.

When I reboot however, it does not offer for me to use this kernel, the other kernel versions are offered. I made a forum thread at the Mint forums, asking about this, and someone asked if I could please file a bug report here.
