ubuntu上运行命令sudo apt-get dist-upgrade，出现错误gzip: stdout: No space left on device

terminal显示的日志:

运行命令:

uname -r

显示:

eric@eric-Satellite-C850:~$ uname -r
4.4.0-34-generic

查看自己的内核版本,然后运行命令:

dpkg -l 'linux-image-*' | grep '^ii'

显示:

eric@eric-Satellite-C850:~$ dpkg -l 'linux-image-*' | grep '^ii'
ii  linux-image-4.4.0-34-generic       4.4.0-34.53  amd64        Linux kernel image for version 4.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP

ii  linux-image-generic                4.4.0.87.93  amd64        Generic Linux kernel image

然后运行命令,删除其中一个没有运行的内核,像这样:

eric@eric-Satellite-C850:~$ sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.13.0-93-generic 

会提示是否删除,然后选择Y,删除后就有空间了,然后就解决了内核更新空间不足的问题了哈
