Randy Nyle Adamson - Hello

As you have:
"gzip: stdout: No space left on device"

try terminal command ' sudo apt autoremove ' .

if and when that fails post back:
df -h
df -i
dpkg -l | grep linux-

See what we have to do manually .

-these things happen; when not paying attention-

If though you have not correctly executed my command, it seems to have worked so far.

Now continue with the commands

sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

and copy/paste the output again.

OK, now I rebooted and upgraded 66 but, when I check with the software updater it says that I still have to update and that I can't because I have no space again ! I've tried sudo apt autoremove, How can I remove all of my old kernels ?

Thanks again for all of the help ! I rebooted after the last info and ran the Software updater so my hard drive was already up to date but are your commands and I now think I'm good unless there is any more kernels that can be removed ? I'd like to free up as much as possible on my boot partition !

Well done. You correctly identified that you should run the command "sudo apt autoremove".

This is the command which you should re-run whenever the update processes have installed a new version of the kernel packages - or even better: add an option and run the command as

sudo apt --purge autoremove

The free space on your /boot partition now allows installing an additional version of the kernel packages, and if you always care for deletion of the oldest one (with the apt autoremove command), you should not run into the "no space left" problem again.

There are a few additional obsolete packages left, which do not occupy space on /boot, but on the "/" partition. You could clean them up with the commands

sudo apt purge linux-headers-3.13.0-157
sudo apt purge linux-headers-3.13.0-24
sudo apt purge linux-image-4.4.0-134-generic
sudo apt purge linux-image-extra-4.4.0-134-generic

Everything else seems fine to me.

Thank you so much for all of your help ! I will keep up on reviewing our texts and I'll be saving them to review and be on top of cleaning my kernels !
