Well when I attempted the workaround I got this: sudo apt-get autoremove --purge Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
I actually used the above command to clear up space ages ago however it no longer worked. The guide said to remove old kernels and leave the latest kernel as a backup by using dpkg. But there was nothing to remove. Thats why I looked in boot partition and checked for junk. Maybe dpkg is not removing the gzip archives after a kernel is removed? If you think I damaged my system, do you think I should reformat my system? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1357093/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
