Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

You appear to be running a release of Ubuntu that is no longer supported.
Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for information on our
currently supported releases; consider using one of the LTS releases,
as they will be supported for the longest amount of time.

Some additional information on upgrading can be found in our community
wiki, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes

Thanks

Note that /boot is full, cleaning up old kernels should make it easier to upgrade.
