Unattended-upgrades and update-manager will remove old unused kernels with the default configuration. This is already happening in 18.04 and will be back-ported to 16.04. > With a clean installation (on an encrypted disk) the boot partition will be > removed automatically?

I hope they will be pleased to see that obsolete kernels are removed without starting terminals. :-) -- 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 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.
