Public bug reported: This bug is about the installer defaults, not this symptom of the bug.
I installed a fresh install of 18.04 on a laptop with a 750GB HDD. The update-manager reported that I'd ran out of space within 2 months and could not perform updates. 'apt autoremove' didn't remove anything and only running the advice from http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/10/remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu-with-one- command/ worked, which seems to leave me with no backup kernel. This would turn off Noobs who want something that doesn't require almost immediate, then ongoing, tech intervention. Does the installer need to change the allocated size of /boot in new installs? Noobs will run back to Windoze if they encounter this... it looks like a fresh install has a shelf life of two months unless you learn to fiddle around under the bonnet/hood. Blessed are the coders!
