Title:
Uninstalling unused kernel requires a reboot
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
When Linux kernel is updated, a package with the new kernel version is
installed, and the system offers to reboot the machine (an icon
appears in the system tray). After reboot the new kernel is loaded,
but the old one is still installed. When I remove the old kernel
packages (e.g. linux-image-3.16.0-25-generic, linux-image-
extra-3.16.0-25-generic, linux-headers-3.16.0-25, linux-
headers-3.16.0-25-generic) the system offers to reboot again, even
though that kernel is not used. In essence this means that kernel
upgrade requires two reboots.
Removing unused kernel packages should not require a reboot, and some
time ago it actually worked that way. I can't remember exactly which
kernel release broke that (probably, 3.16.0-24 or so).
