[Touch-packages] [Bug 798414] Re: update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error when there isn't enough free space
On booting I am told that a system program has encountered an error and asked if I want to send a report. On saying yes I'm told that the bug has already been reported and that it is "update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error when there isn't enough free space". This is so far from what is happening that it is infuriating. The basis of the problem is that /boot is not being cleaned up automatically. This was a bug which was supposedly fixed in 16.04 UTS, but apparently not. As a retired software engineer I know that I can clean up /boot manually, and have done so many times. However I shouldn't have to. Please stop classifying the /boot partition being full as "update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error when there isn't enough free space". This bug (/boot not being cleaned up automatically) should be given the highest possible importance. It must be a complete turn of to any ubuntu user who does not have computer science skills (and to many who do). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/798414 Title: update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error when there isn't enough free space Status in initramfs-tools: Confirmed Status in Software Updater: New Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Binary package hint: initramfs-tools When generating a new initramfs there is no check for available free space, subsequently its possible for update-initramfs to fail due to a lack of free space.
