Re: [PLUG] laptop error msg out of space for /boot

I appreciate your help. Now watch for postings on my @#$% desktop. It seems to be having problems. May also relate to packages. -Denis On Sat, Nov 19, 2016 at 11:34 PM, Tom wrote: > I am glad that it sorted your problem. > > All you need to do, what I do

Re: [PLUG] laptop error msg out of space for /boot

I am glad that it sorted your problem. All you need to do, what I do anyway, is to run the auto remove command every few months, or as often as you feel like in order to remove old packages and kernel versions. It took a while to fill your /boot partition, so you should have about the same time

Re: [PLUG] laptop error msg out of space for /boot

At least on my laptop, that doesn't seem to have any effect. I'm running Mint, but since it's based on Ubuntu, I assume it's relevant. I probably have 8 or so kernels on mine, according to what I see in /boot. I see that there are manual ways to get rid of them, but I don't know that I'll bother.

Thanks, Tomas. I will do that. Afterward, is there anything I need to do to correct the result of running into the memory problem? -Denis On Sat, Nov 19, 2016 at 12:05 AM, Tom wrote: > Need to run to remove unused old versions of kernels and other > packages? >

Re: [PLUG] laptop error msg out of space for /boot

Need to run to remove unused old versions of kernels and other packages? Run: sudo apt autoremove --purge That should fix that for you automagically. If you want to prevent the problem happening in the future without remembering the command, you can configure it by following this guide:
