At this point all I'm trying to do is update my headers on fresh Ubuntu 14.04:

root@invoke:~# uname -a
Linux invoke 2.6.32-042stab094.7 #1 SMP Wed Oct 22 12:43:21 MSK 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

root@invoke:~# uname -r
2.6.32-042stab094.7

root@invoke:~# cat /etc/lsb-release  
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu  
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04  
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty  
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS"

This command shows error:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-generic
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)`

Full log can be found in the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/DyPBsPZx.

Once it starts, I have to do a fresh install.

If any information more is needed please don't hesitate to ask, if someone wants to teamview/remote I'm fine with that as well.

    You can't update kernel on VPS. You can do it in some VPS control panel, if there is one, or contact the support.

In many cases you can't upgrade linux kernel if you are using a system provided by VPS.

If there is an option in VPS control panel, then do it there.

Otherwise contact VPS technical support.

Run the following commands to purge un-configured kernels and fix the package dependency problems:

sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.13.0-53-generic
sudo dpkg -P linux-image-extra-3.13.0-53-generic
sudo dpkg -P linux-image-generic
sudo dpkg -P linux-generic
sudo apt-get install -f

  • pastebin.com/CB7VTBrM Looks like it may have some useful information in it. Didn't bother running the last two. -f pushing back same error as first run.

  • sudo update-grub /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `/vz/private/37783'. And this is as far as I've gotten, I have no idea where to go from here
