Michael Baker, the bug report Bug #1357093 that you referred to has been re-reported as Bug #1675079 and Bug #1624644
If you disable automatic installation of updates, and install them by Software Updater only, it will prevent you from installing kernel updates, retaining the system in intact state, if there is too little space left, and let you remove extra kernels by "sudo apt autoremove --purge" (in 16.04-), right? Whatever front-end is used to install kernels, be it apt, unattended- upgrades whatnot, it should check if there is enough space for the kernel in /boot, to prevent system from becoming broken by the installation. It might be difficult in general, as initrd.img files size may vary depending on dkms, linux-image-extra whatnot and there may be backup initrd.img files generated, too. -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
