I am trying to update packages and tells me out of space. see log below.
Virtualmin Edit Mount shows : Disk usage Size 189.68 MB Free 8.81 MB
however, I did command: df -h /dev/sda1 190M 64M 112M 37% /boot
do I need to refresh something ? thanks Brian

Hi, try removing the old kernels first.
You can search for them with … depending on your distro.
rpm -qa | grep kernelA list like this should show up e.g.:
kernel
kernel-old
kernel-older
You can remove the old kernels with e.g.:
rpm -e kernel-old
rpm -e kernel-older
Ubuntu is a bit different.
dpkg --list | grep linux-image
apt-get purge linux-image-******** etc
I personally make /boot to be 500MB
Be careful when removing kernels, always leave at least 1 currently being used. ;)

If its Ubuntu/Debian you just 'apt autoremove'. This it will remove old unused kernels and will remove any unneeded packages from previously uninstalled programs as well.

Welshman, name calling is for grade school. This is not the place for that kind of nonsense.
If you can't treat folks here with professionalism and respect, you're going to need to go somewhere else.
The rules here are very clear. You've been warned several times for the content of your posts, and you're not getting another.
Knock it off.

Sorry guys, drunk again.
Btw the apt-get autoremove will only work after the install of a new kernel so you still need to make space to get it installed in the first place yeah?
Make sense?
The 200MB auto setup for /boot needs increasing.
Kind regards,
Welshman.

Btw, you talk about grade school, when you going to use some decent forum software, not sure what Virtualmins hangup with Drupal is.
Woltlab is well today software.

Hi Briand, did removing some of the old kernels as suggested allow you to execute your desired command or are you still having difficulties?
Kind regards,
Welshman.

A more crude way, if you have sftp access as root is to login using a client like winscp etc go to the dir and delete the unwanted kernels directly to make space so you can run your update command successfully.
Care needed though. It's what I did a number of years ago when I had the same problem, the console commands above are actually from a Leaseweb server engineer

sorry for the late reply, I didn't get the responses from above, so I will have a look at this today (as I need to get it fixed) I belive I did remove old kernels,
** the issue seems to me to be the discrepancy between what free space there is : -- Virtualmin Edit Mount shows : Disk usage Size 189.68 MB Free 8.81 MB" -- df -h /dev/sda1 190M 64M 112M 37% /boot
thanks for the tips. Brian
Many years ago I had a similar problem and found a way to remove all old kernels from my Ubuntu system in one go.
Only the current one remains.
sudo apt-get remove -y --purge $(dpkg -l 'linux-*') | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d')sudo apt-get autoremove -y && apt-get autoclean -y && apt-get clean -y && apt-get update && rebootAfter every kernel update I used this and since then I have a clean boot directory.
And by clean boot directory I mean that only the current kernel is represented.
I hope it helps you with your problem and you can implement it in your distro accordingly.
regards
