Firstly, me too, this is super annoying. As a rule of thumb any 'feature' that *requires* the user to drop to CLI to put in regular manual commands *to keep the system secure and updated* ... in a desktop / consumer OS... is a bug.
It seems there are separate issues here that could be addressed separately: 1. the auto setup does not intelligently ask/warn about its default of setting up a very small /boot 2. there exists no user-friendly auto cleanup for the things clogging up /boot 3. the /boot does not have any elegant way of automatically (or via a setting) "overflowing" into the (usually abundant) storage space outside of /boot for its old kernel data etc 4. when the "full, cannot update any more" problem occurs, there is no useful feedback or suggestion or wizard from the OS for the user... just essentially a FU message. 5. apparently there is not an "easy" way to resize /boot to allow more crap to accumulate and thus postpone the problem... if there *is* an easy way then see (4) it should be provided then and there to the user; if there is *not* an easy way then this proves the point that this is not a trivial bug. Addressing at least one of these would help the problem, and all could be worked on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1357093 Title: LVM or Encrypted install creates too small /boot partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1357093/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
