Cannot update Ubuntu 16.04 - get message box that says no space in boot - not sure how to proceed
When went to update, the software the software updater gave me a message box that said,
"The upgrade needs a total of 107 M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 16.0 M of disk space on '/boot'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'. "
I tried this much and it did nothing so I figured it needed more.
So at this point I don't know how to do this and need some instruction. I see older files in the boot file but how do I get rid of the appropriate ones?
I recall there being an issue with backups clogging the system and since the system has encryption which on start up I have to enter before I can enter my password... wondered if this is cramping space somehow.
If not then I wonder why the older obsolete files aren't just scrubbed as part of the update?
Thanks,
Mike
