I read in another post that kernels are distributed as new releases rather than upgrades. I didn't know this when I was allocating space to my partitions during my initial install of Ubuntu. As a result I ran out of space on my boot partition. Can I increase the size of it using GParted and how do I do this without doing damage to my system?

1 1049kB 512MB 511MB fat32 boot 2 512MB 768MB 256MB ext2 3 768MB 1000GB 999GB lvm

Model: Linux device-mapper (linear) (dm) Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1: 3712MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: loop

Number Start End Size File system Flags 1 0.00B 3712MB 3712MB linux-swap(v1)

Model: Linux device-mapper (linear) (dm) Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root: 996GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: loop

Number Start End Size File system Flags 1 0.00B 996GB 996GB ext4

Sorry, don't know how to capture and post the terminal output screen.

    The more logical approach would be to remove olders kernels than the last working one, the current and the new one (so keep 3).

  • Yes, I already did that. It is a very small partition though at 230 Mb. – Mike Aug 20 '14 at 10:07
  • Can you post the output of sudo parted -l – Charles Green Aug 20 '14 at 13:58
