When I run dpkg -- list, give me a list of 3.0.0.x kernels. When I stat my
computer,
appear only one 3.0.0.14 kernel, windows 7 and a list of 2.6.32.32 to
2.6.32.36 kernels.
when I run the purge command, did not find it, and when I run update
command and reboot,
nothing was change.

I suggest using the following Korn shell script:

#!/bin/ksh

if [[ $1 == "" ]]; then
echo "List of installed kernel versions:"
dpkg --list | grep linux-image | cut -d" " -f3
echo "No argument added after removekernel command"
echo "Please enter kernelversion to remove from your pc (for example: 2.6.24-16) "
read KERNELVERSION

echo "Removing kernelversion $KERNELVERSION"
apt-cache search $KERNELVERSION|cut -d" " -f1|xargs sudo apt-get remove -y

else
echo "Removing kernelversion $1"
apt-cache search $1|cut -d" " -f1|xargs sudo apt-get remove -y
fi

You will need to save it in /usr/bin and give it executable privileges.

You will also need to install the ksh korn shell package to be able to execute the script.

Mark, thank you for your help, but how can I do this?

Thanks Again

Run the following command:

kdesudo kate /usr/bin/removekernel

Enter your password when requested.

Copy my script into the new text file.

Save the change to the /usr/bin/removekernel file.

Run these commands:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ksh

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/removekernel

Then run the command itself.

removekernel

Then select the kernel version you want to delete.

Thanks Mark the file "kate" was created in /usr/bin, there is not kate /usr/bin/removekernel
I open kate, and paste your script, but does not want to saved, ask me for permission.

Thanks

Need to type "kdesudo" so be sure to type or copy and paste from here the entire command to open the ksh script file

kdesudo kate /usr/bin/removekernel

Or to remove all unused kernel keeping this working kernel by typing only one row please copy and paste from here the row below:

sudo apt-get -y purge $(dpkg --get-selections | awk '((/^linux-/) && (/[0-9]\./) && (!/'"`uname -r | sed "s/-generic//g"`"'/)) {print $1}')

@Francisco: Please read this:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

and read this as well:

http://www.kubuntu.org/docs/kquickguide/C/ch03s06.html

kate is NOT a text file. It is a text editor for KDE.

kdesudo is used to ESCALATE privileges to that of the root (=administrator user) while running kate.

This allows kate to edit files with administrator privileges.

pancho@pancho-ET1331G:~$ sudo apt-get -y purge $(dpkg --get-selections |
awk '((/^linux-/) &&
> (/[0-9]\./) && (!/'"`uname -r | sed "s/-generic//g"`"'/)) {print $1}')
[sudo] password for pancho:

pancho@pancho-ET1331G:~$

and nothing happen kernels still the same

Have a look at https://answers.launchpad.net/grub/+faqs How to remove entries from Grub2 menu.
It's another way of doing.
