Thus (if I am correct) there should no longer be any need to worry about old kernels, which is great. Right, kernels are marked as autoinstalled by default and the latest 3 are overridden to be 'needed'. This lets apt-get autoremove drop all the older ones. A couple of you have mentioned that there are a number of kernels listed, mostly with 'rc' at the start. That implied they were removed but not purged, as the kernel really doesn't bring any config files purging them is safe and reasonable. I use 'apt-get autoremove --purge' to cleanup and avoid these building up (existing ones can be cleared with apt-get purge name). I also have used the following incantation to pull older kernels from before the change to auto-track the latest three into the system and let autoremove have at them: sudo apt-mark auto `apt-mark showmanual '^linux-(headers|image|image-extra|cloud-tools|tools)-[0-9]'` Yeah I know I am very late to the party :). -apw -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

The kernel is a new install along side the existing so you can flip back if there are issues. I think you have to do sudo apt-get purge kernel name and then autoremove should get rid of any remaining elements aiui. -- You Make It, I'll Break It!

I use the following to purge all kernels which aren't the current kernel or
the latest kernel by version number.
( \
KERNEL_HIGHEST=$(dpkg -l 'linux-image-[0-9.]*-[0-9]*-[a-zA-Z0-9]*' | grep
^ii | awk '{print $2}' | sort -V | tail -n 1 | sed
's/^linux-image-\([0-9.]*-[0-9]*\)-.*$/\1/') ; \
KERNEL_CURRENT=$(uname -r | sed s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/) ; \
sudo apt-get purge $(dpkg -l 'linux-*-[0-9-]*' | grep ^ii | awk '{print
$2}' | sed /$KERNEL_CURRENT/d;/$KERNEL_HIGHEST/d ) ; \
)
The above will list the kernels to be removed and prompt you before proceeding.

Tyler
