Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The relevant apt terminal log says:

gzip: stdout: No space left on device
E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 1

So generating the initramfs fails because your /boot partition is full. Please cleanup your boot partition. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.
