Sorry to see that news; however here's a quick assist with

Code:

bill@crownunit:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image3.2.0-23-generic

It needs a blank space between the "e" and the "3" that I've highlighted in red. Try it again with that and it should give you more information.

@ JKyleOKC; Thanks for having my back !
My error corrected in the prior post (should have had a '-" in between ...)
Just goes to show ... proper syntax at all times !

@evertonmint; Not done yet !
Do the same procedure for "linux-headers"; See if any persist. Then advise when that is done; to look for any residual config files.

it ain't over 'till that fat lady sings

Thanks for all your assistance, we seem to be moving in the right direction

evertonmint; Hey !

Let's do this:

Code:

dpkg -l | grep linux-image-
dpkg -l | grep linux-headers-

Now, you know what kernel versions you are booting with .. should be the latest (??), keep it as well as one other for a backup.
Remove all other images and headers.

Code:

sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-<version>
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-headers-<version>

The version numbers of image and headers MUST match one to the other on the kernels that you retain !

and clean up:

Code:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

now do once more

Code:

dpkg -l | grep linux-image-
dpkg -l | grep linux-headers-

See all those files marked as "rc" .. once more:
Now let’s remove all the packages marked as rc.

Code:

dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge

and finally what results:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

hunky dory now ??

**evertonmint** · October 2nd, 2013

I have attempted to remove images and headers, but it doesn't seem to be accepting or doing any thing, as for 'files marked, rc?

evertonmint; Houston, We have a problem.

No head room to operate from makes it tough to do anything. But, let's see if we can resolve the dependency issue.
We can at least try !
See what results from:

Code:

sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-server 3.2.0.41.49
##IF that one is moderately successful; - looks like there may be nothing to (UN)install - run:
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-headers-server 3.2.0.41.49 ##which is only half configured.

Let's take every effort to work from with in the package management system.
We do not want to go to any manual individual method to remove kernels unless there is no other option. That option is real tedious and can be a real night mare and as well lead to dependency hell to resolve all the lingering config files.

If fails, might try "dpkg" assets and see if "dpkg" can work in such tight quarters.

when it rains here, it pours

Looks like this ain't working either?

evertonmint;
Let's drop down in package management to the lower level of "dpkg" see if "dpkg" can operate in this situation:
See what kernel you are booting with, and DO NOT remove it !

Code:

uname -r
sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.2.0-{23,29,31,32,33,36,37,38,40}-generic

If that runs successfully and does get us some head room, will tackle the headers files next !

we be try'n
