To remove an old kernel and free up disk space use "sudo apt-get remove linux-image-<old version>-generic"
However, if you tried to install a new kernel and installation failed due to lack of disk space you should follow these steps: 1. Move temporarily "initrd.img-<old version>-generic" and "vmlinuz-<old version>-generic" from boot to other location 2. "sudo dpkg --configure -a" 3. Move temporarily "initrd.img-<new version>-generic" and "vmlinuz-<new version>-generic" from boot to other location 4. sudo apt-get remove linux-image-<old version>-generic" 5. Move back "initrd.img-<new version>-generic" and "vmlinuz-<new version>-generic" Replace <old version> and <new version> with proper kernel version. -- package linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic 2.6.24-19.33 [modified: lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/modules.pcimap lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/modules.dep lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/modules.ieee1394map lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/modules.usbmap lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/modules.isapnpmap lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/modules.seriomap lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/modules.alias lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/modules.symbols] failed to install/upgrade: subproces post-installation script gaf een foutwaarde 2 terug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238988 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
