I'm trying to free up some space in my /boot, since a notification showed up that there was 0 bytes left. I used synaptic package manager, as I wasn't sure which package I should erase. An error came up trying to remove the obsolete files, so it doesn’t seem to work.

Here is what is in my /boot:

Could you recommend a simple command line in the terminal to clean up some space?

  • Is your /boot a separate partition? if so can you extend it. You can clean up unused packages with sudo apt autoremove – bart Apr 03 '17 at 11:22
  • Keep the currently running kernel listed in uname -r. Keep one older kernel. Uninstall the rest. If synaptic (and apt) don't work due to lack of space, then use dpkg to uninstall the first one. – user535733 Apr 03 '17 at 19:12
