fake-pae package for xenial

Asked by Christopher Bernatt

I have installed Ubuntu 16.04.01 LTS on an old Dell Latitude D500 with Pentium M. I have used forcepae command during installation.
Subsequently, I tried to update Ubuntu but it would fail with message 'this kernel (/linux-image-4.4.0-59-generic_4.4.0-59.80_i386.deb) does not support a non-pae CPU'.
I used PPA from http://ppa.launchpad.net/prof7bit/fake-pae/ubuntu but nstallation procedure fails because it says Release file is missing.
Another error was that was that the file http://ppa.lunchpad.net/prof7bit/fake-pae/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-i386/Packages is missing.
Can anybody help?

PPA doesn't support Xenial. I suggest you contact the PPA maintainer.

You can also tweak the source file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d to a release the PPA supports.

Can you help with this problem?
