Comment 14 for bug 1183692

For reference, the official help page that pertains to fixing a full boot volume due to old kernel images is [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoverLostDiskSpace#line-160], which recommends using Synaptic Package Manager and the command line together. I mention it because it seems to be a more appropriate solution than the popular incantations, and it would be nice to steer users toward a GUI solution when the aforementioned failure message arises in Update Manager, during an attempted kernel upgrade.

Also, for reference, I ran into this issue pretty quickly after installing Ubuntu 14.04 with installer defaults. At no point was I guided toward an appropriate boot volume size, so I feel this is likely to affect a lot of users, whether or not they find this old bug report and voice their dismay.
