Public bug reported:
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...
