Bug Description
Env: Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 LTS 64bits
Hi all
at the beginning of september 2017 I set up a new pc for a desktop user, command line never used. Now after 5 months of daily use I received the alert about /boot partition almost full, see below

Basically, it seems that with default settings and if the user doesn't perform an autoremove from command line there is the chance to fill the /boot partition. This should be avoided since not every user is familiar with command line
