Public bug reported:
I did a full-disk installation (using graphical installer and automatic
partitioning) with full-disk encryption on a 200GB disk, and Ubuntu
chose to only allocate 141MB to the /boot partition .
So now yesterday when the system updater ran, I got an error that I was
out of space on the /boot partition. No option to automatically
uninstall old kernels, or hint about how to do it manually.
Either 1) the installer needs to allocate more space for /boot , 2) the
updater needs to offer to automatically remove old kernels, or 3) old
kernels need to be uninstalled without asking. Probably all three. The
current state of requiring manual non-intuitive trivial low-level
maintenance is not "Linux for human beings".
