I have two Precise (12.04) servers with Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "true";
in 50unattended-upgrades. One of them cleans up its kernels and only keeps the last two; one of them accumulates kernels over time, and I occasionally get alerts about /boot filling up. On the latter machine, "apt-get autoremove --purge" doesn't remove them. I end up removing the packages individually; the script "purge-old- kernels" referred to above doesn't seem to exist. The main difference I can see is that the latter machine has linux- image-generic-lts-trusty, whereas the first machine has linux-image- server. Both machines have in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05aptitude: aptitude::Keep-Unused-Pattern "^linux-image.*$ | ^linux-restricted- modules.*$ | ^linux-ubuntu-modules.*$"; So I don't think that's it. I suppose there won't be too many kernel updates for Precise before it goes end of life now though... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1357093 Title: Kernels not autoremoving, causing out of space error on LVM or Encrypted installation or on any installation, when /boot partition gets full To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1357093/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
