The OP should disable PPAs before updating, so at least newer versions of core components from the official repositories will replace outdated core components from official and PPA repositories by the new versions from the official repositories. If the OP already has got versions installed from a PPA that are newer than those from of official repositories, then the OP needs to reinstall core components while the PPAs are disabled. In my first mail I mentioned that disabling PPAs has to be done before running the apt commands. Since the OP already made an upgrade to a new release, PPAs already might have caused issues, so to help the OP, we need to wait for posted messages, the OP gets when trying to follow your and/or my advices. However, disabling PPAs is needed, otherwise we might be unable to help the OP. Assumed the OP already should have installed a broken kernel from a PPA that is newer then the official kernel, then the OP needs to reinstall the meta packages for the kernel the OP does use, e.g. linux-lowlatency linux-headers-lowlatency or what ever the OP is using. There might be the need to care about other core components too. If applications are broken is unimportant at the moment, first we need to get rid of the kernel panic. The OP should consider to backup the broken install before tryinmg to fix it! -- It only looks like a tape-recorder. It's actually a pen. So you can write with it and no one will know. -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
