Hi,
I created new initrd and now I need to remove old kernels.
Can you suggest me how to do it properly? Do I need to provide more information?
Thank you!

Re: Removing old kernels
Code: Select all
dpkg -l | grep "linux\-[a-z]*\-"
sudo apt remove <pkg names>"There is, ultimately, only one truth -- cogito, ergo sum -- everything else is an assumption." - Me, my swansong.
Re: Removing old kernels
The GUI way is via Update Manager > View > Linux Kernels > pick a kernel > click remove.
For custom Nemo actions, useful scripts for the Cinnamon desktop, and Cinnamox themes visit my Github pages.

Thank you.
So if I check Linux kernels at Update Manager, I should pick the kernels that are shown under installed. But not the one loaded (in bold).
Just want to be 200% sure not to make a mess

Re: Removing old kernels
That's correct, but don't worry... it will not let you remove the loaded / active kernel.
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!
