In order to update /boot needs more space

[TheWaffle]

What can I delete from /boot to free up more space?
The machine I'm running on was installed with an encrypeted lvm, would it be better to give /boot more space? (Is this even possible?)

Since I can't find a definite answer and no one has responded, I will move them to a backup directory and see what happens...

Did you try the sudo apt-get clean that it suggested to try to rid it of unnecessary former installation files?

[TheWaffle]

I did the

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get clean but that deleted like three files that and they weren't in the /boot dir.
That didn't work.
I ended up manually backing up and then deleting these files.
I must have got lucky, because after that I ran

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get updateand rebooted and everything ended up working.

After I update to a new kernel is it safe to assume the old kernels are no longer needed?

When it comes to Linux i have often run into issues with upgrades so I primarily back up all data and install fresh clean with the latest ISO. I have had driver issues and version creep and other issues from upgrading forward. The prior kernel should not be necessary but I would backup data to an external drive before dumping the file. After upgrade it should no longer need the old kernel but to play it safe i'd make sure any critical data is backed up first.
