    One second and I have found your problem: "No space left on device" – A.B. Sep 11 '15 at 19:37
  • Can you run df -h and edit your question with the output? From just glancing at your question & the terminal output it's obvious you're out of disk space & thus won't have space to install the updates. – RPiAwesomeness Sep 11 '15 at 19:40

This is not caused by lack of diskspace on you normal partition, but is caused by a problem in ubuntu slowly filling up you boot partion with old kernels.

Check this answer: How do I free up more space in /boot?

It looks like your hard drive is full. Consider upgrading to a larger drive or clearing up some space. There are many programs out there to aid you, like Bleachbit for instance.
