This bug where the kernel didn't install -- later on, (some time after a
reboot, etc), the software updater tried again and successfully installed
the kernel.

The Real Bug with that computer with respect to Ubuntu is that nouveau
video driver is *decidedly* unstable and not really particularly usable on
that computer.  (I could go into detail if you wish).  Then, when I install
the nvidia drivers, compiz quits working.  (i.e. lightdm greeter screen
works fine, but after logging in, no icons and *no way to create any window
at all*.  I tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 -- that works, but the trick of setting
DISPLAY=:0 and starting a program over in the graphical session did not
work for me.)

What did work though was installing gnome-panel, then at the lightdm screen
choosing GNOME (Metacity) desktop environment.  That doesn't give me Unity,
but it does give me a working GUI with icons and the ability to run
gnome-terminal.

It's an old machine and I just want to put Kodi on it and mess around and
learn all I can about perfecting a good Kodi setup.

So... that workaround is good enough.

Bug description:
  Not sure how much of this is included automatically.  This is an old
  laptop. This is a new install of Ubuntu 14.04. A little bit ago, while
  attempting to install a lot of updates through the GUI, after I had
  locked the screen, the laptop seemed to go unresponsive.  I switched
  over to a virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1).  At first there was a
  message saying the GPU had crashed or locked or something and that it
  was switched to a frame buffer.

  There's definitely some sort of issue with the graphics card:  when I
  press Alt+Tab, the small window previews appear garbled.
