UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
Cause: your /boot is full or too small
grub-install: Fehler: »/usr/lib/ grub/x86_ 64-efi- signed/ grubx64. efi.signed« kann nicht nach »/boot/ efi/EFI/ ubuntu/ grubx64. efi« kopiert werden: Auf dem Gerät ist kein Speicherplatz mehr verfügbar.
$ df -h /boot
better keep it no more than 60% full
to make some space you have to uninstall oldest kernel
List installed kernels
# dpkg -l linux-* | grep ^ii
check your current kernel level
# uname -r
Uninstall kernels keeping current one and maybe one level older too VERSION- generic linux-modules- VERSION- generic linux-modules- extra-VERSION- generic
# apt purge linux-image-
with VERSION the kernel versions that you are not currently using (dont remove the one shown by uname -r)
then recheck /boot size
# df -h /boot
then try upgrade
