Link to yet another forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2256479 The problem is twofold.
1) Users not paying attention to apt-get saying: The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: ... Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. like in the thread linked above. 2) Systems where linux- image-<version>-{generic,server,goldfish,lowlatency} don't get suggested for autoremoval after upgrade to newer versions of linux-{generic,server,goldfish,lowlatency}/linux- image-{generic,server,goldfish,lowlatency}. Mostly because some dkms- based kernel-modules are installed like NVIDIA/AMD propietary video drivers or VirtualBox. dkms recommends virtual package linux-image provided by each and every linux- image-<version>-{generic,server,goldfish,lowlatency}. That prevents their autoremoval as long as dkms is installed and apt is configured not to autoremove recommended packages (Apt::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1357093 Title: LVM or Encrypted install creates too small /boot partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1357093/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
