For some reason sudo apt autoremove has never worked for kernels for me since my clean install of 20.04. I never got to the bottom of why, so I always did a manual purge and got it down to two or...

woohoo! Last suggestion worked like a charm! Thanks so much for your help everyone, it's quite uplifting when people chip in with help like this. It's very much appreciated.

Yup! I've been very remiss at keeping it tidy in there. Ive had an issue since this install that autoremove hasnt worked so ive had to manually remove. The big problem is that when the boot partition...

Hi all,
I got myself into this situation in the past and now I can't remember how I got myself out of it. I'm using Kubuntu 20.04 LTS and I have a 731 MB boot partition. As it fills up with new...

I may have solved this one already, but I'm not sure how or why, so I would appreciate some help in understanding why what I've done works.

I've been using Dolphin to add ratings to files and also...

I don't know if
sudo apt autoremove --purge

will remove kernels that have been manually updated.

If I use


apt-mark showmanual 'linux-image-.*'

Thanks for your help everyone, I got there eventually. I ended up with a bit of a hybrid approach. I used part of the solution posted here:

Thanks for your continued help - much appreciated! This is where it gets infuriating....

sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-5.4.0-52-generic linux-image-5.4.0-53-generic...

well that sure cleaned up a lot of kernels!

Now $ uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image gives:

Thanks for your help.

The first option generates:

dpkg: error: --purge needs at least one package name argument

And the second option generates:

I was going by https://askubuntu.com/questions/1253347/how-to-easily-remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu-20-04-lts but now I notice there are some comments about autoremove not working.

Hey all,
I'm going round in circles here. I can't update linux-image-5.4.0-64-generic from the Updates GUI. I don't get a helpful message, only 'cannot copy extracted data'. It turns out that /boot...

Great, got to that bit thanks, but Signal can only access the home folder, guess it doesn't have a channel for accessing remote media. Oh well!

Hi all,
I'm running Kubuntu 18.04 with Signal messenger as a desktop app (v 1.27.4 as a snap). The app works fine for chatting but when I try to save or attach files to an external usb drive I get a...

Hi all, I have a Lenovo Thinkpad with a built-in webcam. When I attach an external webcam then I can select which to use in Cheese. However, the built-in webcam seems to be set as default, so when I...

Sorted, I hope!

I ran "kcmshell4 filetypes" from a terminal which opened up a KDE Control Module GUI. I changed the preference order for the applications associated with all the video file types...

Aha, didn't know that file existed, I'll have a look....

Thanks for that. Sadly right clicking on a file link within Tellico doesn't do anything as no dialogue is opened. Right clicking on any video file in any Unity file manager does the usual expected...

Hi all,
I have a perplexing problem. I'm using Tellico (A KDE collections manager) to manage a load of video files from wildlife cams. I'm using it in folder mode to keep track of files, file sizes...

Yes, all drive speeds are good, it's a pretty nice fast machine running 16.04, it's just the lock screen, everything else is pretty fast and responsive...

Thanks for the reply - yes, it's just as slow under another account. It takes 5-10 seconds before it slowly fades out to the lock screen.

I've had this issue with 14.04 but I hoped that 16.04 would be better, but it appears not. I'm running 16.04 on a Thinkpad, and it's pretty responsive (4 GB ram Intel Core duo 2 GHz) but the lock...

Ok, so here is what I did in case anyone has the same issues.

I know that the 1220C printer driver will work (partly) with the 1280 as there is no windows 7 driver for the 1280 so it's recommended...
