I'm really out of my depth here

Hello, aletave.

The root cause of your problem can be spotted in the middle of all the error messages, which you had posted:

Code: Select all

gzip: stdout: No space left on device
One of your filesystems has run out of free space.
The affected filesystem will either be the root filesystem /. Or the affected filesystem will be /boot, in case your system has got a dedicated filesystem /boot.

Please, open a terminal window. Execute the following command exactly as it has been typed here:

Code: Select all

df -h | grep "^/dev/"
Mark the complete screen output, which the command will display, and paste it into your next reply. This should tell which filesystem has run out of free space.

The same problem has been reported more than once in the forum. Lots of people collected a long list of kernels in /boot and ran out of filesystem space. The solution will be uninstalling all obsolete kernels, keeping only the currently loaded kernel and the previous kernel.

A forum search for gzip: stdout: No space left on device should return a number of threads, where such a problem had been reported and resolved.
Here are 2 of them:
[Solved] Cannot increase /boot size or remove older versions of kernel
Filesystem /boot filled? "gzip: stdout: No space left on device"

Best regards,
Karl

In a terminal window, first run this (copy & paste into a terminal window):

Code: Select all

dpkg-query -W -f '${Version}\n' 'linux-image-[^g]*'|sort -u|sed -e '/^$/d' -e 's/\~[^~]*$//' -e 's/\.[^.]*$//' -e "/$(uname -r|sed s/-generic//)/d" -e 's/.*/sudo rm -rfv \/boot\/*-&-*/'|source /dev/stdin
Then run this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -f -y
If this finishes successfully, then run

Code: Select all

dpkg-query -W -f '${Version}\n' 'linux-image-[^g]*'|sort -u|sed -e '/^$/d' -e 's/\~[^~]*$//' -e 's/\.[^.]*$//' -e "/$(uname -r|sed 's/-generic//')/d" -e 's/.*/linux-*-&*/'|tr '\n' ' '|xargs -r sudo apt-get remove --purge -y
For style points, fix that locale warning like this:

Code: Select all

sudo locale-gen --purge --no-archive
sudo update-initramfs -u -t

I forgot to ask for a

Code: Select all

df -h /boot
to see if the first script worked as expected. Also I'd say despite the long list of messages the second command ran through ok, so as long as the above command no longer shows 100% in use then run the third command as well and you should be fine then

Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager

Oh wow, that has to be a bug in Mint 17. How about this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge -y linux-image-3.16.0-38-generic linux-image-3.19.0-32-generic linux-image-4.4.0-109-generic linux-image-4.4.0-112-generic linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic linux-image-4.4.0-119-generic linux-image-4.4.0-121-generic linux-image-4.4.0-124-generic linux-image-4.4.0-127-generic linux-image-extra-3.16.0-38-generic linux-image-extra-3.19.0-32-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-109-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-112-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-116-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-119-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-121-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-124-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-127-generic

Were those the only ones it threw errors on? Because the list was much longer.

Anyway, let's get rid of those 4 then:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq --force-depends linux-image-extra-4.4.0-112-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-116-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-119-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-121-generic
If that goes through, do this afterwards:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -f -y

Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager

Post by gm10 »

Yep, that looks good. Run this to clean out some left-over modules directories, if any (you don't need to post the output of this):

Code: Select all

cd /lib/modules
LISTFILE=/tmp/clean_module_dirs.txt
dpkg-query -W -f '${Version}\n' 'linux-image-[^g]*'|sort|uniq -u|sed -e 's/\~[^~]*$//' -e 's/\.[^.]*$/-generic/'> $LISTFILE
comm -2 -3 <(ls) <(sort $LISTFILE) | xargs -r sudo rm -rv
rm -v $LISTFILE
and finally, to see what's still there (some header packages probably) - of this I'd like to see the output:

Code: Select all

apt list --installed "linux-*"

Oh, sry, I never used Mint 17, guess you only get an early version of the apt wrapper. This should work

What the hell? That list keeps growing. Bear with me, let's force those 4 packages that kept coming up in the error messages finally off your system:

Code: Select all

sudo rm -fv /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-extra-4.4.0-112-generic.* /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-extra-4.4.0-116-generic.* /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-extra-4.4.0-119-generic.* /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-extra-4.4.0-121-generic.*
and

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq --force-depends linux-image-extra-4.4.0-112-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-116-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-119-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-121-generic
and

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -f -y
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge -y
and last but not least, please tell me they're finally gone::

Code: Select all

dpkg-query -W -f '${Package}\n' | grep "^linux-image-extra"
