after moving my /boot to another bigger drive and completing the do- release-upgrade, and observing the empty space in the new /boot disk during it. IN NO POINT IT WENT DOWN MORE THAN 100MB. WHY ON EARTH DOES IT REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE 621MB FREE THERE?? Instead of doing the risky /boot disk maneuvering to another physical disk I should have just `sudo vim do-release-upgrade` and reduced the /boot disk space requirement from 621MB to 200MB and it were been JUST FINE!! ffs.
also the suggestion to "and you could also set COMPRESS=xz in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to reduce the size of your initramfs." is incomplete. SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED ALSO THE COMMAND TO DO IT, like : "and running `sudo update-initramfs -c -k all` " -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2078667 Title: "sudo do-release-upgrade" fails on Kubuntu (asks too much free space on /boot) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/2078667/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
