Looks like you need to remove some old kernels to make some room.

That didn't do it, thanks anyway.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.2.0-36-generic but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


But I found anoter solution. When is started Synaptic, it said there's a broken package and I should use the filter for broken packages and remove it. Dit that and everything is fine now.

Glad you figured it out, but for future reference the autoremove command works good.
