"dpkg was interrupted... run 'sudo dpkg --configure"

[m_grommash]

Hi,

1) running sudo dpkg --configure -a doesnt help. Im getting this log at the end:
dpkg: error processing package linux-image-6.14.0-29-generic (--configure):
installed linux-image-6.14.0-29-generic package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 11
Errors were encountered while processing:

linux-image-6.14.0-27-generic


2) context: I tried installing davinci resolve using a guide: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1530842/how-to-install-davinci-resolve-on-ubuntu-24-04,
yet during last step, I stumbled upon the issue mentioned above.

3) heres full logs also:

Have a look at this thread

Ubuntu broke after last kernel update (6.14.0-29)

Like in the question https://askubuntu.com/questions/1555200/ubuntu-broke-after-reboot, after accepted to reboot my computer after update, I have nothing after reboot. I can only reboot on previous

askubuntu.com

It looks like to me anyway that your NVIDIA drivers are not compatible with the kernel - so you have a couple of options 1) downgrade your kernel or 2) wait for NVIDIA to upgrade their drivers
