Tried having Ubuntu Software Center, repair some files for me. It didn't work and gave me this read out.

I saw the No space left on device and ran


Sudo apt-get autoclean


Also ran
df -h

And thats all i knew how to do so if anyone could give me some help i'd appreciate it. Also pretty new to ubuntu and linux in general, so talk slowly and clearly.

mateuccivl Hello, Welcome to the forum.

You have done well to see and understand , and better to try and comprehend.

We are now at this point:


/dev/sda2 237M 229M 0 100% /boot


Which indicates that the partition is full, most likely due to old kernels still in residence .
It is unlikely that in this condition that the package manager can cope with removing those old kernels, but one can try this simpler approach before getting the more aggressive:


sudo apt-get autoremove

paying close attention to what the package manager thinks it is safe to remove. With the kernels broken, I doubt this command will be effective. In this event we manually address the issue.

When the 'autoremove' command fails we proceed as:
Need to KNOW what kernel is the present booted kernel, MUST not mess about with this kernel at this time.


uname -r

and now we need to know what kernels are installed :


dpkg -l | grep linux-


Once the targets are identified we can use the dpkg tools to effect the removal of these old kernels.



ain't nothing to it



once you have done it a time or 3

[mateucciv]

Hey!
So I ran


sudo apt-get autoremove

it gave me this

autoclean removed stored packages in /var/cache/apt/archives...which isn't on the full partition.
autoremove uninstalls package files, including stale kernels in /boot...which is exactly what you want to do on the full partition.

[Bashing-om]

mateucciv; Welp.

Was worth a shot to try ' autoremove' . Not surprised it did not complete
a) no operating head room at the partition at 100% capacity;
b) have unmet dependencies:
c) partially installed control components:


iU linux-image-generic
iU linux-signed-generic


Let's take a gentle poke at this and see if we can get some operating head room:


sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic

Depending on how the system responds to this one poke, is what we do next . It is best to stay within the package managers realm of control when possible . IF and I do stress IF we have to go behind the package manager's back .. we can ... and fix all the damage later.

We are fortunate that Ian, the guru of package management, is looking over our shoulder .

I'm assuming it poked me back, I'm really glad for all the help too.

mateucciv; Ouch .

We poke and it did bite back !
Maybe I got the horse before the cart.

Another gentle poke:


sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic


As we try the easy ways 1st.

[ian-weisser]

Try the following to remove your 3.13.0-24 series kernel and headers:

sudo dpkg --remove linux-headers-3.13.0-24 linux-headers-3.13.0-24-generic linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-24-generic linux-signed-image-3.13.0-24-generic

If that works, do the same for -29
Then test: See if apt-get upgrade works.

If you're still out of space, do the same for -32, then -34

When you have freed enough space using dpkg (apt-get upgrade works), then run apt-get autoremove to finish the job.

[mateucciv]

So I did what you said and it worked, or I think it worked.

But when I read sudo apt-get upgrade I got this

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

Try apt-get autremove, then apt-get install -f

if you don't mind taking the time, what is -f ?

[Bashing-om]

mateucciv; Ho Kay !

Making progress, and now let's see what we can do to deal with that originating issue of the -46 kernel.
As we do not need it, and we will eventually remove it anyway; how bout we try and remove it now ?
verify once more the booting kernel, that it has not changed:


uname -r

now with Ian's command sequence:


sudo dpkg --remove linux-headers-3.13.0-46 linux-headers-3.13.0-46-generic linux-image-3.13.0-46-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-46-generic linux-signed-image-3.13.0-46-generic


I can accept that the package manager may balk, depending on the advisory is what we do next .



what does it take



to keep the package manager, satisfied

[mateucciv]

Alright here we go !


uname -r3.13.0-39-generic


oh uh, I don't think it liked that I ran that .

mateucciv; Hey !

Disregard my last, as we posted at the same time. Looks like we are in business now .. that -f switch is "fix" .

Now let's look at the status of the installed kernels:


dpkg -l | grep linux-

to insure that all that is installed, is fully installed .
And, See now what else maybe left to do.



things coming to an end

[mateucciv]

slow and steady wins, the race right?

[Bashing-om]

mateucciv; Uh Huh .



slow and steady wins, the race right?

We are making good progress.
Gone from " iU linux-image-generic
iU linux-signed-generic" to fully installed:


ii linux-image-generic
ii linux-signed-generic

Let's do a different order of operations


sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.13.0-46-generic
sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.13.0-46-generic
sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.13.0-46
sudo apt-get purge linux-image-extra-3.13.0-46-generic


Now, what we want to wind up with, when all is said and done is the current kernel installed:
mine:


sysop@1404mini:~$ uname -r
3.13.0-77-generic
sysop@1404mini:~$

which is the latest.



which way did he go, George

[mateucciv]

ok so ran the purge and everything got deleted but when i ran uname -r I got

SVF15218CXB:~$ uname -r3.13.0-39-generic

[Bashing-om]

mateucciv; Hey ..

All fine .. we will not have the -77 kernel installed 'til we tell the system to install.
We are still doing the foundation stuff in preparation.
So now what is the status:


df -h
df -i
dpkg -l | grep linux-

look'n to see that we can wipe some of the sweat off and continue on our merry way.



all in the process

[mateucciv]

ok, I was thoroughly confused at one point.

[Bashing-om]

mateucciv; Well !! well ,,

You did "something" as now the -77 kernel is installed.


ii linux-image-3.13.0-77-generic


But still real short on head room !


/dev/sda2 237M 184M 41M 83% /boot

with only 41M of overhead.

What are you presently booting ?


uname -r

and maybe now "autoremove" will be effective ?
try it :


sudo apt-get autoremove

knowing there is still a bit of cleanup yet to be done.



more progress in the making

[QDR06VV9]

I don't mean to jump in here but I wonder if he has rebooted yet?
Kind regards

[Bashing-om]

@runrickus :)

Always good for you to poke your head in ! Reboot is a great thought !



3 heads are better than one,



even if 1 is a goat head

[mateucciv]

hey ok so uname r gave me, drum roll please


3.13.0-77-generic

and autoremove removed


kde-l10n-engb libssl0.9.8 linux-image-generic

[Bashing-om]

mateuccivl Yuk (??);

I had expected that 'autoremove' to remove the old kernels, not to remove " linux-image-generic " !
We want to keep " linux-image-generic 3.13.0.77.83 " .

Need to look again and see what is installed :


dpkg -l | grep linux-

also see about that final cleanup of 'rc' marked packages.



not done 'til done

[mateucciv]

Maybe I got a bit ahead of myself here.

mateucciv; Hummm ....

If it is all the same to you, I would like to pause here and wait for Ian to catch up with this thread. 'autoremove' should have removed those old kernels in my expectation, I would like to learn the whynot .
In this meantime post back the result:


sudo apt-get autoremove

And what is set in the control file?
post the output:


cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove

It would be nice in the future to have this functionality.

else: If there is a push we can tackle the old kernels manually.



inquiring minds want to know

[mateucciv]

I'm glad my problem can be used for science!!

while we are waiting, let's get this puppy updated !!!


sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt full-upgrade


I see nothing amiss in the autoremove control file . Let's await Ian for advise.



what in the world - 555 not upgraded

[mateucciv]

What, I literally did a sudo upgrade a few hours ago! weird...very weird.

[ian-weisser]

Oh, that. Kernel headers are never autoremoved. The same kernel headers also rely upon the kernel-image packages, so those won't be eligible for autoremove either.

Try removing the obsolete kernel headers first, then autoremove then fix some of the other issues.

sudo apt remove linux-headers-3.13.0-2* linux-headers-3.13.0-3*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt install linux-image-generic
dpkg -l | grep linux
sudo apt full-upgrade

[mateucciv]

Still updating guys, this is taking alot longer then I thought it would. Will post results when available.

[mateucciv]

and well full-upgrade did it's things haha

[mateucciv]

So just a quick update, I rebooted after running upgrade. and my wifi wasn't working (like it dissipated from my drivers so i ran


sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic

you know what they say, two steps forward, one step back and then one to the side.

[ian-weisser]

Ah, so that is why you had headers? I was wondering...
If so, autoremove will likely never work removing old kernels. Headers prevent. Get used to removing by hand every few months.

uname -r ## Identify the current kernel,
sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.13.0-3* ## Read the list of proposed removals carefully. DO NOT REMOVE THE CURRENT KERNEL.

[mateucciv]

sorry it took me so long to get back on, i've been having some problems with my wifi and fan drivers not being installed. (problems have been fixed.)


uname -r3.13.0-77-generic


So I should run it as sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.13.0-3* ? or change it?.
