For reference, the official help page that pertains to fixing a full boot volume due to old kernel images is [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoverLostDiskSpace#line-160], which recommends using Synaptic Package Manager and the command line together. I mention it because it seems to be a more appropriate solution than the popular incantations, and it would be nice to steer users toward a GUI solution when the aforementioned failure message arises in Update Manager, during an attempted kernel upgrade.
Also, for reference, I ran into this issue pretty quickly after installing Ubuntu 14.04 with installer defaults. At no point was I guided toward an appropriate boot volume size, so I feel this is likely to affect a lot of users, whether or not they find this old bug report and voice their dismay. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1183692 Title: Not enough disk space for kernel security update on /boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1183692/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
