Recently, I updated my Ubuntu 16.04 and now I am facing problem with my boot space. How can I fix this problem? Is there any way to reallocate the /boot space?

Have you tried to run sudo apt autoremove in a terminal, to remove unused packages, including old kernels ? – Soren A Nov 10 '17 at 12:54
I haven't tried it, but Will it affect my other dependent packages? – Vijesh Nov 10 '17 at 12:58
autoremove only removes the packages and dependencies which are not being used. – Manish Kumar Bisht Nov 10 '17 at 13:04
It will only remove autoinstalled packages there isn't needed anymore. It lists the packages it want to remove, so you have a chance to opt out if it looks wrong. Also sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade should suggest to run autoremove. – Soren A Nov 10 '17 at 13:07
is your /boot a separate partion? – hellozee Nov 10 '17 at 13:07
@KuntalMajumder the volume "boot" .. it says. So Yes, boot is a separate partition. – Soren A Nov 10 '17 at 13:09
@SorenA then even purging packages wont make any difference, I think.. – hellozee Nov 10 '17 at 13:10
I think using autoremove sometimes may kill desktop drivers also. – Vijesh Nov 10 '17 at 13:13
@KuntalMajumder; autoremove will also remove old kernels from /boot, so it will help. – Soren A Nov 10 '17 at 13:19
@SorenA ohh well, cleaning the whole partition and then installing grub there can be a solution – hellozee Nov 10 '17 at 13:23
Thanks @SorenA 'sudo apt-get autoremove' fixed my problem, without affecting other packages. – Vijesh Nov 10 '17 at 13:43
Make /boot larger – Panther Nov 10 '17 at 15:28
