Remind me to buy you a drink if we're ever at the same sprint again.

I've already increased the default size for /boot to ~512M (tends to
actually end up being a little less, but it's already much more than the
240ish it was). There's a couple of reasons for it: when installing on
EFI (because this tends not to affect non-EFI installs at all), one has
to count every
Any news on this? If the fix is simple to do, I don't mind doing the
fingerwork, especially if someone can point me in the right direction.
Cheers,

Hi,
I'm not interested in testing kernels, but have found that the default
size of the /boot partition is not large enough for three kernels to be
installed at the same time. This causes upgrades to fail, and requires
manual intervention before they can proceed. This is clearly not what we
want to
It's possible to customize the size of the /boot partition on a Desktop
system by using the (poorly-named, IMHO) "Something Else" partitioning
option; however, this also requires explicitly setting up all other
partitions. This can be a rather high hurdle for inexperienced users. Of
course, such us

Has that changed since the release of utopic? Because when I installed

@vorlon, perhaps it was not clear enough from previous comments on this
bug, but some of us *want* to be able to install more than 4 kernels for
testing purposes, and asking for a larger (or better yet, customisable)
/boot is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, especially given the sizes
we're talk
The lifespan of the release is not part of the equation. You only need
room for three kernels to support updates. If kernels aren't being auto
removed correctly (which hasn't been mentioned here), there is no
partition size large enough to accommodate unbounded growth.
If the kernel images / ini
And that duplicate bug report shows four kernels installed. That means
old kernels have not been removed. We do not currently have anything in
update-manager to correctly auto remove packages after update. This is
a serious (and known) bug. But increasing the size of /boot is no
solution for it
Per Bug #1553442, the default partition size was too small on a fresh
Xenial install with no kernel debugging being done. The updates failed
after a week, probably as an update pulled in two kernels and there was
not enough disk space to remove the oldest. It certainly seems far too

@cyphermox: I don't mind preparing a patch for this, but after looking
at the ubiquity codebase I'm at a loss to find where the partition sizes
are encoded. Any hints?

It's actually gotten to the point on Xenial where I couldn't install a

I've unmarked this as a duplicate of bug 1357093, because even if
automatically installed kernels are auto-purged, 256 MB is still only
enough space to install approximately 4 kernels. For those testing
different kernels in order to track down bugs, this isn't large enough.
