I don't know how to fix this issue. Plz help me. ><

Solution 1:

This worked for me:

sudo dpkg --remove linux-server
sudo dpkg --remove linux-image-server linux-headers-server
# purge unused kernels, but could do more so your mileage may vary
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install linux-server linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic

Solution 2:

For me the solution was different.

I used the command sudo aptitude, when the graphical menu appeared I used / to get a pop-up search field and find all the linux-header, linux-image, linux-server versions and removed all but the one currently used by pressing -.

To find the current kernel version I used uname -r.

Finally I installed a newer version of linux-{header, image, server} in the order specified by selecting them and pressing +.

To confirm the updates I used u.

At the end I rebooted and everything was fixed.
