/boot 100% used --- possible cause for broken update?
by iqbala from LinuxQuestions.org on (#531YE)
HAllo.
I am running Kubuntu 18.04, kernel 5.3.0-46-generic, 64bit.
I updated as usual the recommended packages, and result is that the system is broken.
DPKG tells me that nvidia-kernel-common-390, nvidia-dkms-390 and nvidia-driver-390 have been left unconfigured because of some problem with dependencies. (So now I am seeing the default 640x480 resolution!)
Moreover, DPKG tells me also that initramfs-tools and linux-image-5.3.0-51-generic post install script terminated with error status 1
There was also some criptic statement about space not being enough on some device, so I checked in the info center that my sda1 partition, mounted as /boot, has got no more space left (I had dimensioned it to 1 Gb, and now they appear to be 100% used up)
Question 1: can this be the cause of the unfinished package installation?
Question 2: why it was good for more than a year and now it is used up? Does it accumulate some garbage over time that I can clean up somehow?
Question 3: Do you think that it is safe trying to resize the /boot partition with the partition manager?
Question 4: is there some other way to proceed (barring a complete reinstall?)
Thank you very much
