The upgrade needs a total of 60.9 M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 11.1 M of disk space on '/boot'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean

I'm using ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Have you done what has been suggested? Have you emptied the Trash can and also run?


sudo apt-get clean

At the Grub boot menu we can select Advanced options for Ubuntu in the sub-menu we select Recovery mode. At the recovery menu we can select Clean. That will run two commands apt-get clean and apt-get autoremove. That should create some free space. Do empty the trash.

Regards.

Try removing some old kernels:
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

What does the following show for your /boot partition or whatever partition it is on? You either need to clean house or use a bigger /boot.
df -h
