Can someone tell me what the point is to store old and "insecure"

of partially configured kernels as a result of my efforts to free up
space by using the apt-get purge command. Here is my current state:
Still happening. I noticed that running apt-get autoremove usually
clears up enough old kernel versions to fix this, but it didn't work
this time.
Surely the updater can be configured to run autoremove and prompt the
user yes/no before attempting to install updates? That may fix the issue
in a
This one has just bitten me, and necessitated research to fix it. The
suggestion offered by the updater, to run "sudo apt-get clean", not only
does not address the issue (because the old kernels are left in place),
but also is user-hostile. Why not ask the user if they want to clean
up from
Agree with the above. There should be a simple, foolproof-as-possible way to

the end because it ran out of space on /boot. THIS SHOULD NOT

This affects the upgrade tool as well - if the user gets the prompt to
do the update to 16.04 and clicks "upgrade", it downloads the update
tool, starts to check and see if it can do the upgrade, and then fails
with the same "not enough disk space" error.

Good points above. So, in addition to the update-manager offering to
remove earlier kernel versions to free up space when necessary, the
standard installation option should make the boot partition bigger.

Problem still persists in 15.04.
Also, it seems that the partition is simply too small. So this should be
changed in the installation routine, too. I only have two kernel images
there - the current one and the previous one. And I can't update because
there is insufficient space.

Yep, it affects me too, at least a couple of times a year. I'm using
home folder encryption only, not full disk encryption. When installing
Xubuntu, home-folder encryption is given as an option, so this bug will

This is still an issue in 14.10
This error message is too general, it doesn't give us a specific
solution:
The upgrade needs a total of 86,4 M free space on disk '/boot'. Please
free at least an additional 32,2 M of disk space on '/boot'. Empty your
trash and remove temporary packages of former
The easiest fix for me when I first encountered the not enough /boot
space message was to create a boot disk and completely replace the
existing OS, then restore files from a backup drive. A couple of
upgrades later, same problem with not enough /boot space. My poor
vision makes me uncomfortable
Just got the error from update-manager again today. I'm still on 14.04.
I can go into Synaptic and manually remove individual older installed
versions of the kernel, and the line that Franck posted will go and
remove all old versions of the kernel that are installed. Either one
frees up space.
I guess this bug must not be happening to very many people if it's not
fixed a year later.

messing around with old kernels is not something I feel confident enough
to do.

This has continued in 14.04 LTS. If the release is intended for long
term support, the /boot partition should probably be larger when the OS
is installed and Ubuntu creates the partitions. This is only a temp fix,
though.
I also think there should be a menu that pops up for removal of older
Per tankdriver's comment, if old kernels cannot be automatically and
safely removed somehow then Software Updater's automatic security
updates will start failing after three or four kernel updates.
