  update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error message when

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

  When installing a kernel, /boot may become full during execution of
  post-installation script typically when update-initramfs is creating
  or updating an initrd.img file. This is resulting in kernel
  installation error.  For example:

  Setting up initramfs-tools (0.98.8ubuntu3) ...
  update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
  Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic

  gzip: stdout: No space left on device
  E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 1
  update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic
  dpkg: error processing initramfs-tools (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

  Ideal behavior:

  Give a more helpful error message when this unfortunate situation
  occurs so that user can fix the broken system and keep it going.

2024-02-07 Thread Raghvendra Giri
The solution is listed in ubuntu documentation.

first check space of /boot

>: df -h

>: sudo apt-get autoremove

this should freeup some space and 90% times this will resolve your
issue.

if you have manually installed and still the old files are not purged
follow the link below

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RemoveOldKernels

this still works for ubunt 22.04  /boot folder issues resolution,
cleaning /boot folder removing older files

2019-04-25 Thread Mathew Hodson
A better fix for this issue is available in Bionic and later and also
backported to Xenial with bug 1675079.

unattended-upgrades and update-manager will now remove unused kernel
packages when there are other updates to be installed.

I'm closing this initramfs-tools task since a fix specifically for this
initramfs-tools package isn't needed now.

2018-12-26 Thread C W
The default boot partition size in Ubuntu 16 is way too small so having
some way to remove the oldest kernel is required I think. Its very hard
to change it once the disk is in use.

2018-08-12 Thread Jarno Suni
Tex, the command you used failed because of Bug #1678187. However it
succeeded to purge many kernels and related packages. But package linux-
image-extra-4.13.0-36-generic was not successfully purged technically.
What does command 'dpkg -l linux-image-extra-4.13.0-36-generic' print?
Anyway, you can now purge the package by 'sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-
extra-4.13.0-36-generic', right?

I suppose your original command purged too many packages, as it removed
the linux-generic-hwe-16.04 package. You may reinstall it by 'sudo apt-
get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04', if you want
to continue to get newer kernels via updates.

2018-08-11 Thread Tex Arcana
I just ran into this bug, tried a suggestion from here
(https://askubuntu.com/questions/89710/how-do-i-free-up-more-space-in-
boot) which resulted in multiple errors, and me being sent here.

It seems to me that this should be taken care of automatically by the
kernel with the upgrading process.



Terminal output of the above suggested method:
