Happy to discuss and help...in the support forums.
This CLOSED bug report is not the appropriate location to help people troubleshoot.
Title:
Kernels not autoremoving, causing out of space error on LVM or
Encrypted installation or on any installation, when /boot partition
gets full
Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Currently if one chooses to use LVM or encrypted install, a /boot
partition is created of 236Mb
Once kernel updates start being released this partition soon fills
until people are left unable to upgrade.
While you and I might know that we need to watch partition space, many
of the people we have installing think that a windows disk is a disk
and not a partition, education is probably the key - but in the
meantime support venues keep needing to deal with the fact the
partition is too small and/or old kernels are not purged as new ones
install.
Seems to be a design flaw rather than a bug.
