5.13 not shown with dpkg -l

Asked by opnsrctechtrn

I think this is a bug or there is a bad image. I downloaded 20.04.3 from the Ubuntu Taiwan website (I think it came from the local FTP server), but after install and updates it has a faulty kernel 5.13 in the /boot and grub. I noticed that it gave a '/sbin/init does not exist' error. Getting in through 5.11 worked, and then update-grub through a syntax error on it. dpkg -l | grep linux-image didn't show 5.13 at all.

Looking in boot the file structure is weird. Not sure what happened, but I think a bad update or build went out.

Actually, though while worth a check, it is possible that 5.13 was left over from another Linux - like Manjaro or Fedora. I've been having trouble with my system and running through distros with good support, so possible the boot partition didn't get clean on my Ubuntu Desktop install.

The files with 5.13 in their name are not part of the normal Ubuntu packages.
They look like the files that are provided with other operating systems, e.g. Manjaro Linux.

Are you able to provide a link to the installer file that you downloaded and used?
Did you add foreign repository sources to the package management system?
Is this a system with different operating systems, or is Ubuntu the only one?

For diagnostic purposes, what is the output of the commands
uname -a
lsb_release -crid
dpkg -l | grep ' linux-'
sudo apt update

I started writing my comment before you added your comment, and it seems that you already found the cause yourself.

Thanks I think this can be closed. Likely a fault on my end.
