LM Cinnamon 18.3 keeps warning about "Low disk space on 'boot'"

Post by R0bertPAULSON »

I have had the same problem but different variables. On each boot up, LM Cinnamon 18.3 warns me about "Low disk space on 'boot'". Which I can either ignore or examine.
my ls /boot output

Code: Select all

I did remove some 4.4 kernels from the update manager and I also removed 4.8.0-53.

But I didn't do your last command

Code: Select all

sudo rm -v /boot/vmlinuz-4.10*
as I am not sure how this applies to my case. This is my working machine and I really don't want to break anything to the point I would have to reinstall my Linux (and go through the back ups of hundreds of GB of data and paid software).

What should I do?
