Hi Gordon, I've had this same issue for many months and have come to the conclusion that there is no expertise within Ubuntu or if there is then no one who is prepared to fix it and get it out to the community.
I have reluctantly had to revert 42 machines back to Windows. Windows 10 now which is miles better than XP and until Ubuntu has a professional organisation behind it. I'm leaving Ubuntu 14.04 on this one unit just to see it this issue ever gets fixed. Its been suggested we give Fedora a go and ditch any ideas of ever using Ubuntu. If you have any experience (good or bad) of Fedora then please share. Many thanks Alan On 21/07/16 17:07, Gordon wrote: > I'm still having this issue on Ubuntu Studio lowlatency kernel updates > using the following cmds: > > sudo apt-get update > sudo apt-get autoremove > sudo apt-get autoclean > sudo apt-get dist-upgrade > > Then it fails, seems to recover, not entirely convinced :( > > Is there a way to safely increase the boot partion ? > > Using an SSD drive... > > df -h > Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on > udev 2.9G 12K 2.9G 1% /dev > tmpfs 577M 1.4M 576M 1% /run > /dev/dm-0 214G 137G 67G 68% / > none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup > none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock > none 2.9G 100K 2.9G 1% /run/shm > none 100M 36K 100M 1% /run/user > /dev/sda1 236M 227M 0 100% /boot > > > Please help... this always occurs and has been for what seems months. > > Thanks > > ** Attachment added: "ScreenShot of lowlatency - low disk space" > > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/798414/+attachment/4704773/+files/UbuntuStudio_Low_disk_space_on_dist-upgrade_after_autoremove_autoclean-07212016-085954.png > -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/798414 Title: update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error when there isn't enough free space Status in initramfs-tools: Confirmed Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Binary package hint: initramfs-tools When generating a new initramfs there is no check for available free space, subsequently its possible for update-initramfs to fail due to a lack of free space.
