[Bug 1460396] Re: Software Updater does not guide user to remove old kernels when /boot is about to get full, causing failed updates
This link shows what kind of dialog there is: http://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/q/1634 The issue is that the dialog tells to empty trash and use 'sudo apt-get clean' which may help only, if /boot is on same partition than some of the files in trash, the /var/cache/apt/archives/ or /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/. In Ubuntu 16.04 and later a more helpful advise would be to run "sudo apt-get autoremove --purge". (That might not do the trick in 14.04 due to Bug #1439769) For more control on which kernels to purge, this utility would be useful: https://www.bountysource.com/issues/38300038-feature-request- the-command-should-work-like-this -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1460396 Title: Software Updater does not guide user to remove excessive kernels when there is too little space on /boot to install a kernel update.

In 14.04 there is a dialog that appears informing you should free space on /boot, if there is too little free space, when using Software Updater. Not sure, if it works on later releases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1460396 Title: Software Updater does not guide user to remove old kernels when /boot is about to get full, causing failed updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1460396/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
