    [SOLVED] Install kernel update error



    After clicking on Xubuntu yellow update icon I am prompted to install update Kernel 2.6.-19 generic. I proceed with the install and receive this error message during the install


    E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic_2.6.24-19.36_i386.deb: unable to make backup link of `./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic' before installing new version

    Is the problem on my end or the server end?

    Get "Linux-headers" and configure your kernel.

    Thank you Grandebasta. I now realize I did a major snafu to my kernel. Consider this thread resolved.
