No space left in boot [solved]

[Snafu]

Since installing a kernel upgrade yesterday every time I boot the computer I get an error message saying "no space left in boot partition". I'm currently using 4.13.0-43

What you need to do is to click on the "update manager" and go to "view" then click onto "linux Kernels"...you will notice the check marks next to kernels that are no longer in use but are still installed...you need to remove/uninstall all but the current kernel and the the one just before that which was probably the last known great operating kernel...(always keep 2 kernels on system...the current one and last known good kernel so you can retreat to the last known good one in case something happens to the current one)...REBOOT SYSTEM... and all should be well...check the kernels periodically so they do not build up again taking all the room out of your boot system...DAMIEN
