stub, I suppose the upgrading process did not change the settings concerning unattended-upgrade. You should do that manually after upgrading from 14.04 and initially remove extra kernels manually before upgrading.
de0u, I tell about the restrictions concerning 'apt-get autoremove' in the wiki page. Likewise I tell about some alternatives not limited to 'purge-old-kernels'. I think it is harsh to say most things do not work, if you do not specify. You could run Unattended-upgrade from command line to install new kernel updates when you want: sudo apt-get update && sudo unattended-upgrade As for un-clogging, did you read the 'Safely Removing Old Kernels' chapter? I see many people take time to complain, but I see none who is willing to spend even 1$ to get an easier solution for poor Ubuntu users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unattended-upgrades in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1357093 Title: Kernels not autoremoving, causing out of space error on LVM or Encrypted installation or on any installation, when /boot partition gets full Status in unattended-upgrades: New Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Currently if one chooses to use LVM or encrypted install, a /boot partition is created of 236Mb Once kernel updates start being released this partition soon fills until people are left unable to upgrade. While you and I might know that we need to watch partition space, many of the people we have installing think that a windows disk is a disk and not a partition, education is probably the key - but in the meantime support venues keep needing to deal with the fact the partition is too small and/or old kernels are not purged as new ones install.
