Coder68; Hello,

Let's see if we can cut to the heart of the matter. Look'n at the probable cause as the /boot directory full of old kernels;
As well, what release are we dealing with here , as the method to remove the kernels differs from earlier releases ?
Show us the output - BETWEEN code tags - of terminal commands:

lsb_release -a
uname -a
dpkg -l | grep linux-

code tag tutorial:

Will tell the tale and we will see what can be done.

ain't no step for a stepper

[Coder68]

This is still an issue. Can anyone please help?

Coder68; Hello,

My post #12 still applies, please provide the requested outputs - formatted by the code blocks - so we can continue.

my regards

The user already posted details: like 12.04.4 (testing the commands in a VM) and in post #3 a screen shot of installed kernels but I agree an output in text form is easier to read. Following command should purge all old kernel except the current one:

sudo apt-get remove --purge $(dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d')

@ Gyokuro; sure I do agree, but

Related headers, not shown or known that also need to be removed - keeping what is current.

just my way of doing it

@ Bashing-om: Sorry my bad in case my post was rough - was not my intention - tried to save you some time

[Coder68]

Sorry, I was out for a bit. I was also not showing any updates until today.

Here are the request. I had to do it two posts as it only let me do 5 images in one post.

Here is the last image.
