[Bug 43476] Re: [dist-upgrade] update-manager failed because "no space left on device" on /boot
Update to previous comment: Correction: the 715 offered updates are for *feisty*. Sorry about that. The /etc/apt/sources.list now contains feisty repository names, and the previous version containing the edgy names seems to have vanished entirely. There is only an old saved backup version from a previous upgrade from dapper->edgy. Maybe this was lost when the two accidently- overlapping distribution-upgrade attempts raced against each other. -- [dist-upgrade] update-manager failed because "no space left on device" on /boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43476 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 43476] Re: [dist-upgrade] update-manager failed because "no space left on device" on /boot
Oh boy. Just tried clearing my Deleted Items folder (only had a few KB of files) on /boot and repeated the distribution upgrade attempt - failed again with similar message as before. Now the Update Manager says that "There are 715 updates available" (was 35). From the offered package names, these are Edgy packages which for some reason it now thinks it has to reinstall. I think I accidentally started a *second* distribution-upgrade while overlooking the popups (still up behind a firefox window) saying the previous upgrade had aborted, this ought to be impossible! Maybe that messed it up. Um, should I do a complete fresh feisty install?? Or do the 715 updates to get back to where i was? Or is there a way of upgrading forward to feisty from my present state? -- [dist-upgrade] update-manager failed because "no space left on device" on /boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43476 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 43476] Re: [dist-upgrade] update-manager failed because "no space left on device" on /boot
There is still a problem for edgy->feisty upgrading. I have a separate /boot partition for which df gives 24% used, ~31MB free: /dev/hda343917 9607 31967 24% /boot The Distribution Upgrade tool started OK but then terminated with a popup box: "The upgrade aborts now. Please free at least 9209k of disk space on /boot. Empty your Deleted Items folder and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'." and then cleaned up after itself. Doing sudo apt-get clean (shouldn't that be aptitude clean these days?) and repeating the procedure produced the same result. My boot partition is admittedly rather small, but my other machine has about 48MB on /boot and had room for a complete fresh Feisty install alongside *two* old kernel/initrd versions. -- [dist-upgrade] update-manager failed because "no space left on device" on /boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43476 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is fixed for the dapper->edgy upgrader. It does careful space checking now. ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- [dist-upgrade] update-manager failed because "no space left on device" on /boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/43476 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Mike, would you like to open a new bug report? We should really make a check if all important partitions are mounted rw.

[Bug 43476] Re: [dist-upgrade] update-manager failed because "no space left on device" on /boot
I've had a similar error, but not because of space on device issues... but rather I think because I have my boot partition mounted read-only.
