package linux-image-3.13.0-100-generic 3.13.0-100.147 failed to install/upgrade: package linux-image-3.13.0-100-generic is already installed and configured

I don't really know. I remember suspending Ubuntu. Then power went off at night. Today morning I tried to log in using Gnome but screen is blurry and it wouldn't log in. Ubuntu main user interface (I think that is Unity) wouldn't let me log in either. I logged in with xfce, but it's still blurry. I thought there's a problem with drivers, tried to change from [Nvidia binary driver version 352.63 from nvidia-352 (proprietary, tested)] to [Nvidia binary driver version 352.63 from nvidia-352-updates (proprietary)] and then bugging things came out. Now I am here.

When things came to go wrongly, then its time to:
- glance at logs to know about a usefull warning/error
- clean the system: 'sudo apt-get clean' (same with autoclean & autoremove)
- when package is removed, always select 'full removal' (purge)
- search & purge orphans with gtkorphan

But mixing several DEs (gnome+xfce+...) is the worst idea really (better to do a fresh reinstall if a quick fix can't be made)
