he upgrade needs a total of 92.1 M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 27

当我们在ubuntu运行的时候,我们会遇到/boot目录空间不足的情况,这个时候,我们需要对内核进行一下清理,错误信息为:

he upgrade needs a total of 92.1 M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 27 MB....

这时,我们可以运行下面的命令:

cd /boot/
dpkg -l | grep linux-image
uname -a  #查看你当前的内核版本
sudo apt-get purge --remove linux-image-4.4.0-34-generic #换成你的一个不用的内核

就行了.

我的输出信息为:
