Unable to update kernels following bionic beaver update

Asked by Robert James

Hi, after doing the bionic beaver update i restarted and computer froze pre-startup; this happens every time I turn the computer on now. I have to press the restart button, then go through ubuntu recovery start and start using old kernel, which works, but when I try to download the new update it doesn't like it at all, comes out with loads of issues and aborts. Additionally, fills the boot drive to the brim with old, some obsolete kernels. I have no idea what I'm doing, if anybody can help I'd rally appreciate it. Thanks, Robbie

The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured.
They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure
menu option in dselect for them to work:
 linux-generic Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers
 linux-image-generic Generic Linux kernel image

The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:

Your /boot partition is completely full. This is the same problem as in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/270194 and https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/629901

What is the output of

dpkg -l | egrep ' linux-[ghis]'
apt-mark showmanual | grep linux-
ls -l /boot

This was a bug step forward.

Now try rebooting. I hope that the system will already be able to boot the 4.15.0-33-generic kernel (to be confirmed with the command "uname -a").

If booting the 4.15 kernel works, then you can uninstall another old kernel with the command
sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-4.4.0-132-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-132-generic.

And then hopefully the command
sudo dpkg --configure -a
will successfully finish.

(There is some additional clean-up work necessary, but don't expect another answer from me for the next 20 hours)

(sorry, it took longer for me to come back, and I probably will not be very active during the coming days.)

You should clean up obsolete configuration files for packages that have already been removed. the command for this is:

dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge

Done. Again, thank you so much Manfred.

There are at least two more commands which I recommend to execute (for clean-up):

apt-mark auto linux-headers-3.13.0-64 linux-headers-3.13.0-75 linux-headers-3.13.0-78 linux-headers-3.13.0-80 linux-headers-3.13.0-81 linux-headers-3.13.0-82 linux-headers-3.13.0-84 linux-headers-3.13.0-89

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

Oops, "sudo" missing, should have been:

sudo apt-mark auto linux-headers-3.13.0-64 linux-headers-3.13.0-75 linux-headers-3.13.0-78 linux-headers-3.13.0-80 linux-headers-3.13.0-81 linux-headers-3.13.0-82 linux-headers-3.13.0-84 linux-headers-3.13.0-89

Thanks again. Some of those commands didn't seem to work, but the purge removed a lot:

Try again, but you have to copy/paste all lines if the first command at once
