Farstrider Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) As you all have seen there have been lots and lots of updates in the last two weeks for Ubuntu linux. I only install critical and recommended updates and tonight I installed about 26 updates and one did not install and it looks pretty important! I am still new to this and need some help please! Here are some screen shots. Thanks. Edit: Sorry, I put this in the wrong place, if a mod would be so kind, I would appreciate you moving it to the correct place! Thank you.

markwolfe Veteran Posted June 23, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2008 "No space left on device"? Do you have /boot in a separate partition? Can you do the following two commands? sudo fdisk -l sudo df -h to show your partitioning and how much free space is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farstrider Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks for the reply Mark. I was just away from the PC for a few moments I will check now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichi Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 gzip: stdout: No space left on device Looks like your hard drive is full. Try checking with df -h to see the actual usage of your drives, just in case. **Oops, late! :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farstrider Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 This is what it looks like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farstrider Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 It appears that the boot area is full, how do grow or resize the boot partition? I am somewhat confused I had a look with GParted but I am not sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted June 23, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2008 Remove some of your old kernels you don't use? Seems safer than resizing partitions. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farstrider Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks again Mark, I went to the Ubuntu forums but can not find out how to do what you are suggesting! Sorry I was being obtuse so I can just delete whats in the boot folder that older that -18? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted June 23, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2008 You can delete whatever ones you choose. And you might want to modify your menu.lst to not point to non-existent files that you manually removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rson451 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 i believe you can just remove them with the package manager. this should take care of the files as well as the menu.lst. or at least, it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
