Due to a move, I have not had the opportunity to update the system from 6.6.5 to 6.7 until last night. The headers for kernel 7 fail to install. No reason given. This results in a kernel panic (vfs: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)). In the past the kernel panic was caused by my wifi driver which needs to be recompiled (it is a third party driver that uses dkms). I recompiled the driver however this time it still panics.
Attempting to install the headers manually results in the following errors:
E: linux-headers-7.0.0-28-generic: installed linux-headers-7.0.0-28-generic package
post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 11
E: linux-headers-generic-7.0: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-headers-generic-hwe-24.04: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-generic-hwe-24.04: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-image-7.0.0-28-generic: installed linux-image-7.0.0-28-generic package
post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 11
Rebooting and using the older kernel (6.17) launches the system but I cannot log into my user account with wayland. I can log in with x11. I can login to a clean account with wayland, but that is not helpful as I need my configs the way they are.
I fixed the previous dependency conflict with pulse-audio by installing pipewire-audio which installs missing packages and removes pulse.
