[Bug 923876] Re: FR: Limit and clean-up kernel images and headers automatically in LTS
Why is this bug marked fixed for Precise? And how can this bug be fixed for Quantal which is not LTS? The point of the bug title is that LTS is the one that this bug refers to because over 5 years the kernels will really accumulate. So I don't see how it can be fixed until it's fixed such that those of us on LTS get the old kernels cleaned up simply by running the updates.

I tested this in a quantal virtual machine that was running kernel 3.5.0-39, by first installing apt from quantal-proposed, then disabling proposed and using 'apt-get dist-upgrade' to install kernel version 3.5.0-40. I then rebooted and enabled proposed again, from which I then used 'apt-get dist-upgrade' to update to kernel version 3.5.0-41. Then I rebooted again and ran 'sudo apt-get autoremove --purge' and did not see kernel version 3.5.0-39 in the list of packages to be removed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923876 Title: FR: Limit and clean-up kernel images and headers automatically in LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/923876/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Note that because 3.5.0-39 was installed using the *old* version of apt, it's actually expected that this version of the kernel won't be marked for autoremoval. 3.5.0-40 is the first version that will be a candidate for autoremoval, and it won't actually be autoremoved in this case because you rebooted to 3.5.0-40 before installing 3.5.0-41... making 3.5.0-40 the last good kernel that's being kept. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923876 Title: FR: Limit and clean-up kernel images and headers automatically in LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/923876/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Aptitude in Precise and later (and earlier) carries a patch that potentially nullifies this change.

** Description changed: Question #186146 is one among multiple where user unintentionally collects multiple kernel images in particular with LTS.

Re: [Bug 923876] Re: FR: Limit and clean-up kernel images and headers automatically in LTS
APT has good reason to not autoremove kernels, why you want to break that? You want *some* process to reap old kernels, ok, but that does not mean that the core package manager should be that process. The selection of which kernels to clean up is domain-specific. Determine such a list external to apt and use apt-get remove (not autoremove) to dispose. At the very least, if you insist on using markauto + autoremove, do not make this the default. Your external process should invoke apt with a custom configuration where APT::NeverAutoRemove does not contain the entries blocking the desired autoremoval. Use APT_CONFIG envvar and/or apt-get -c. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923876 Title: FR: Limit and clean-up kernel images and headers automatically in LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/923876/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
