I regularly install security updates. As I've now been running 12.04 for over a year, I have now 24 old kernel versions (in series 3.2.x) taking up to 1,7 gigabytes of disk space.
I did now run the spell dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge ..but I hope Ubuntu would have some built-in mechanism to remove old kernels, since regular users are not likely to do this kind of maintenance manually. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/690911 Title: Installation without formatting fails to remove old kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/690911/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
