What should I do ?
Thanks
Nothing. I ran
sudo apt upgraderight after seeing the “updates available” notification shortly after booting.Pop OS (as per the community I’m posting on), 24.04 (as per my post title).
Did you do
apt updatefirst?The system does it automatically, which is why I got the “updates available” notification.
That said, after encountering the error, I did run it just in case before running
apt install -f.The error message suggests to look at:
/var/lib/dkms/amdgpu/6.12.12-2147987.24.04/build/make.log
What does it say?
Also, are you running this on a System 76 machine? If so, I’m guessing that they’re the first point of support.
