Public bug reported: During upgrade using `sudo do-realease-upgrade`
Upgrade failed and system became unbootable. Booting into recovery mode discovered that kernel make fails (linux- image-6.8.0-35-generic) for module evdi which is the Dell DisplayLink Driver Solution: 1) Boot into recovery mode 2) Follow these instructions to remove module evdi https://askubuntu.com/questions/1467898/dkms-errors-when-updating-upgrading-ubuntu/1468704#1468704 3) dpkg --configure -a 4) sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade The system then recovered although the DisplayLink driver was no longer present As the Dell XPS range are officially covered laptops (not sure if by Dell or Ubuntu) I thought this may be useful to resolve Further suggestion: removing the evdi module automatically during upgrade would at least ensure this issue does not stop the upgrade completing. DisplayLink can be reinstalled by those who need it ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2069717 Title: Upgrading from Ubuntu 23.10 to 24.04 fails on DisplayLink Module / evdi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2069717/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
