4+ years and still not fixed. And no, to the many people who have listed how to "fix" it via apt commands, that is not a fix, that is a kludge. APT (in its myriad forms) is a package manager. That means these kernel packages should be managed. So here are the facts.
1: Ubuntu now suggests for partitioning a tiny /boot partition. 2: Ubuntu now pushes out several minor kernel updates per month. 3: Those kernel updates do not clean up after themselves. Add those three together and it means every Ubuntu user will, I stress WILL, run into this problem in short order. This is a core package, it is a managed package, this problem should be MANAGED, not kludged. But all I see in going back through the history of this bug is two things which should not be happening. 1: The bug being assigned out to someone only to be assigned to nobody right after it. 2: People disparaging others for wanting the issue resolved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/798414 Title: update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error when there isn't enough free space To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/initramfs-tools/+bug/798414/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
