Public bug reported: Could someone confirm if this is a duplicate of bug nr. 1508157
I have the exact same issue and precondition to my knowledge. I too had nvidia propiertary drivers installed: nvidia-settings -q NvidiaDriverVersion Attribute 'NvidiaDriverVersion' (ubu1504desk:0.0): 352.41 Attribute 'NvidiaDriverVersion' (ubu1504desk:0[gpu:0]): 352.41 Upgrading from Vivid -> Wily the package linux-image-generic seem to get uninstalled. I end up with a kernel beeing the same as the one I had just before the upgrade ("ingen" is danish for "none" - should have changed the language): apt-cache policy linux-image-generic linux-image-generic: Installeret: (ingen) Kandidat: 4.2.0.16.18 Versionstabel: 4.2.0.16.18 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages cat /etc/issue && uname -a Ubuntu 15.10 \n \l Linux ubu1504desk 3.19.0-21-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Sun Jun 14 18:31:11 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I have to add that when I ran ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core to report this bug I had installed the package linux-image-generic in the meantime. So you will see that I'm on that kernel now, but I had to install it manually.
