Title:
Avoid error: /boot filled up, cant upgrade
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Reporting against 'apt' but 'dpkg' is also concerned
Explanation:
since a while numerous users are posting threads on ubuntuforums asking help
about that issue, like that one:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2282707
Proposition 1:
either 'apt' and/or 'dpkg' conf files need a feature to set the max number of
installed kernels. That setting entry should be modifiable via dconf-editor,
and set by default to '2'
Upgrade process:
apt/dpkg automatically purge the oldest non wanted headers/images after a new
kernel installation (installing & purging in the same process)
That way the non techies users ignoring the mandatory manual
maintenance will be safe with /boot.
Proposition 2:
set a monthly cronjob to run 'apt-get clean' 'apt-get autoclean' 'apt-get
autoremove' to clean up the system.
But the sad effect is that the cache is purged, not only the unwanted old
installed kernels
