[vatbier]

upgrading kubuntu 12.04 (inside virtualbox 4.2.4 on Windows 7 host) (which was upgraded from Kubuntu 10.04 to 10.11 to 11.04 to 11.10) by running Distribution Upgrade:

Could not install '/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.5.0-19-generic_3.5.0-19.30_i386.deb'
The upgrade will continue but the '/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.5.0-19-generic_3.5.0-19.30_i386.deb' package may not be in a working state. Please consider submitting a bug report about it.

subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

Clicking on Report Bug wants to open Chromium webbrowser but fails because it can not be run as root. Trying again then succeed by opening filebug launchpad site in Firefox.

By looking at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1079846 I figured out that enabling in Virtualbox>Settings of my Kubuntu virtual machine>System>Processor the "Enable PAE/NX)" setting made installation of the generic kernel succeed.
