On the off chance anyone else is using Ubuntu 16.04 ...

This morning I found my computer barely usable because of a kernel
update yesterday.  My screen resolution was reduced to the minimum,
mouse and track pad didn't work, and no wifi.  After some searching
online, I found that the issue was the update failed to install the
"extra" package.

You can check if this is your problem by running ` dpkg --list
"*4.4.0-43*" ` and seeing if you're missing the "linux-image-extra"
package.  If so, then you can run "sudo apt-get install
linux-image-extra-4.4.0-43-generic" to fix it.
