Jackalux, oh I see you have found the popular one-liner script for kernel removing. It is too complicated for what it does and too simple for what it should possibly do.
I have written a script to ease kernel removal: https://www.bountysource.com/issues/38300038-feature-request-the-command-should-work-like-this You (and other complainers) could post a small bounty to fund the work. Alternatively I think we could form an association to fund the work and other stuff that novice Ubuntu users may need provided it could attract enough paying members. Andreas Lindhé, you have a point. I don't know who decides it, but I suppose the fix to the bug could be backported or SRUed to even older LTS releases. But it seems that the fix does not work even in 16.04 (Bug #1675079); that applies only to the new Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-New- Unused-Dependencies setting in unattended-upgrades, though, so if setting Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "true" suits to you, there is a fix available. Alternatively, e.g. my script could be run from a cron job or (in 16.04 or later) from a systemv timer to handle automatic kernel removal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unattended-upgrades in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1357093 Title: Kernels not autoremoving, causing out of space error on LVM or Encrypted installation or on any installation, when /boot partition gets full Status in unattended-upgrades: New Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Currently if one chooses to use LVM or encrypted install, a /boot partition is created of 236Mb Once kernel updates start being released this partition soon fills until people are left unable to upgrade. While you and I might know that we need to watch partition space, many of the people we have installing think that a windows disk is a disk and not a partition, education is probably the key - but in the meantime support venues keep needing to deal with the fact the partition is too small and/or old kernels are not purged as new ones install.
