This bug where the kernel didn't install -- later on, (some time after a reboot, etc), the software updater tried again and successfully installed the kernel.
The Real Bug with that computer with respect to Ubuntu is that nouveau video driver is *decidedly* unstable and not really particularly usable on that computer. (I could go into detail if you wish). Then, when I install the nvidia drivers, compiz quits working. (i.e. lightdm greeter screen works fine, but after logging in, no icons and *no way to create any window at all*. I tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 -- that works, but the trick of setting DISPLAY=:0 and starting a program over in the graphical session did not work for me.) What did work though was installing gnome-panel, then at the lightdm screen choosing GNOME (Metacity) desktop environment. That doesn't give me Unity, but it does give me a working GUI with icons and the ability to run gnome-terminal. It's an old machine and I just want to put Kodi on it and mess around and learn all I can about perfecting a good Kodi setup. So... that workaround is good enough.
