I've been having problems with the computer freezing for awhile, especially immediately upon opening firefox. I don't know if this is connected. I've been unable to get the 83 kernel to install, I had to do the repair steps to force the dpkg, but i guess it didn't work cause now it says can't install.

You may need to run the following from a terminal:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then re-install the package or updates.

If that does not resolve your issue, please mark the bug as "Confirmed"
