Running Linux on an Aspire S7-391. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
Trying to apply updates and it says i need to free up space, I've already run BleachBit and cleared like 20GB of space, then also tried uninstalling some programs, and nothing is working.
Heres what Software Updater says:
Yes my trash is empty. :) Yes I've run sudo apt-get clean
/boot is a seperate partition reserved for the kernels, so no matter how much you space you recover on say / or /home partitions it's not going to affect /boot - you'd have to delete kernels like @bungalow_bill said. When installing how much space did you reserve for it? Typically a vanilla kernel is ~80MB in size, so I usually allocate 300-500MBs to have space for a few additional kernels
Ahhhhh, i see. Thanks Baz, i understand they are separate now. #LearningLinux Yeah I guess when i installed I didn't allocate enough to /boot as i can only fit 3 kernels. :P I guess to extend this partition, I'll need to boot into Gparted on USB?
