I've consolidated prior posts about the kernel update problem on my blog: https://linuxatty.wordpress.com//?s=kernel&search=Go Also, the command sudo apt-get autoremove can be used to clear out old kernels for 16.04 and above. take care, Victor PS- While Ubuntu 14.04 is still supported, LTS releases for Xubuntu only get three years of support. So, 14.04 is no longer getting security updates. See https://xubuntu.org/help/ for which versions are currently supported. -- Victor Forberger [email protected] blog: http://linuxatty.wordpress.com
