After I upgraded 20.04 to 22.04 I cannot install new software because the old linux-image-5.13.0-23-generic (5.13.0-23.23) cannot be removed. During the upgrade I told the system to keep old stuff, which was probably the cause of this problem. When I try to install new software, I get the following output:

Removing linux-image-5.13.0-23-generic (5.13.0-23.23) ...

I tried sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-5.13.0-23-generic and sudo apt-get install -f but I get the same output as above.

Thanks. Unfortunately I had to reinstall Ubuntu 22.04 because I caught a trojan horse and could not install ClamAV because of this kernel problem. I did not dare to use ubuntu to try your suggestion. I will leave this queston for a few days before removing it.

Move any file and folder with proxy in name under /etc/grub.d/ to your $HOME.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
