[Bug 95260] Re: Not enough free disk space
I've got this problem with Xubuntu 12.10. It is a fault with the Ubuntu Software Updater. It is also a fault with the installer. My machine was a clean install six months ago. I did a guided, encrypted LVM. I used a boot partition of the recommended size. Now six months later Xubuntu's telling me on the hand I need to upgrade my kernel, and on the other that I can't upgrade my kernel because there is not enough space in my boot partition. There are two problems here: i) the standard setting wasn't big enough to see my machine even through its first upgrade ii) my /boot partition is being over-filled with trash that is nothing to do with me as a user. I shouldn't have to know about this. This problem should not effect me. Notably, this was the first time I opted to have a separate partition for my home directory. All over Ubuntu installs since 2008, on a variety of machines, have been on a single partition. The problem never occurred before in any of these instances. It would be most helpful if the following solutions were given serious consideration: i) The ubuntu/xubuntu installer needs to create a boot partition of the appropriate size. It should inform a user who tries to create a /boot partition that is too small. ii) The Software Center should clean up its trash. It is most unhygenic of it to simply discard unused kernel images in the /boot directory. If it is the case that expert users like to keep old kernels hanging around, then the default should favour non-expert users by having them removed automatically. Perhaps the option could be flagged on the instance of a kernel upgrade.

[Bug 95260] Re: Not enough free disk space
Had this same problem with the Feisty -> Gutsy upgrade. A Little Rant: Update-manager should have determined there was insufficient space before starting the download!! Before it did anything else!! Instead, the upgrade critically failed mid-way through configuring all system files!! Troubleshooting Details: Used the Feisty LiveCD to run "gparted" and resize the /boot partition, but update-manager left the OS in such a bad state that any kernel that I tried to boot only arrived at a "BusyBox" prompt. Since grub seemed to be finding to the /boot partition correctly, but the system was not working, my next step was a complete re-install of Feisty and a new upgrade to Gutsy. This re-install and clean upgrade ultimately worked, especially now that the /boot partition is 3x the size, but I lost all of my installed applications. More thoughts: I think the most important thing with this bug is that it could have been prevented by checking for disk space pre-requisites. Seems like a prudent task, especially as the kernel is being modified and the system is then being rebooted, at the completion of the process. -- Not enough free disk space https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95260 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 95260] Re: Not enough free disk space
I got this error (no space in /boot) upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 The problem I see is that I never touched whatever it is in /boot since I created it in a previous ubuntu installation (245MiB), so I think that the update manager should know how to make the space needed (deleting the oldest files until it's satisfied for example). I tried to resize the partition, but gparted won't allow me to do that. I think it's because the main ubuntu filesystem was created as lvm and is shown as unknown filesystem. My fault, but don't ask me why, it was about 5.10 and I can't barely rembember it now :-/ ** Attachment added: "dist-upgrade.tar.bz2" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10083015/dist-upgrade.tar.bz2 -- Not enough free disk space https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95260 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@CHoudeshell: It seems to require '1.2G' of debs. That is a pretty big amount, can you please attach your complete main.log file? If you have a lot of packages installed, that is not a unreasonable amount, but its pretty big. -- Not enough free disk space https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95260 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have exactly the same problem like Bert Vorenholt. Tried "sudo update-manager -d". After a while i get this message: "Not enough free disk space The upgrade aborts now. Please free at least 6671k of disk space on /boot. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'."

[Bug 95260] Re: Not enough free disk space
I'll answer my own question here :-) >> Do i really need to repartition? Yes. After i have grown my /boot partition to have the desired free space, the upgrade went well for me :-) Strange though, now with two kernels in my /boot folder/partition, the used space is around 20 MB. Why the upgrade needs 40 MB free space in /boot? Thanks.

[Bug 95260] Re: Not enough free disk space
As i reed the main.log it seems the upgrade needs 40 MB free space on the /boot partition. My /boot partition is just 49,4 MB and contains the files for just one kernel. Do i really need to repartition?

i am having a similar problem, the updater tells me to free at least

1.2GB available on that partition.

the line

makes me think the 44.4M displayed in the dialog is wrong and should be ~1280M ?
