Title:
  Can't install updates because out of space

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Update manager says there are some updates for me to install but (as
  of yesterday - 15th Aug 2014) it can't install them because there
  isn't enough space in /boot. It suggests emptying the recycle bin (I
  have) and using 'sudo apt-get clean' to remove temporary packages from
  previous installations (I have).

  That doesn't work. Also, I only installed 14.04 fairly recently (in
  the last month) from scratch (no upgrade) using the default
  installation options for partitioning etc (as far as I know) so it
  shouldn't have filled up like this. I also ran 'sudo apt-get
  autoremove' then 'sudo apt-get clean' but no success either.

  I'm on a 256 GB SSD (Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition) with an encrypted
  harddrive.

  I know I *could* spend some time hunting around for instructions to remove old kernel packages from the command line but there really aren't that many there and it's a pretty poor user experience if that is required. I'm guessing that's not the intention so I can only think that this is a bug...but I'm not sure where.
