[Bug 1357810] Re: Can't install updates because out of space

 

Laura Cowen, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. Would you be able to uninstall the packages that installed the
older kernels following

?

Title:
  Can't install updates because out of space

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
