In general, apt-get purge the linux-image-generic linux-image linux- headers linux-headers-generic linux-generic packages.
Then you can delete some image files from /boot/ by hand; once one or two are deleted, use apt-get purge to delete the corresponding packages (linux-image-*-generic, linux-headers-*-generic). Be sure to keep at least two bootable kernels. Once you've finished removing packages, re-install the linux-image- generic linux-image linux-headers linux-headers-generic linux-generic packages to ensure you continue to get security updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1410272 Title: package linux-image-3.13.0-40-generic 3.13.0-40.69 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: been having this erroor for months and i cannot clean out the /boot folder with the autoremove or clean commands :( ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-40-generic 3.13.0-40.69 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-39.66-generic 3.13.11.8 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-39-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.6 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: me 2166 F.... pulseaudio Date: Tue Jan 13 07:40:11 2015 ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-08-21 (145 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) MachineType: Dell Inc.
