SOLVED /boot full

[matt91]

I logged in today and noticed that the boot folder is at 91% capacity. Here is what I'm running:

Incredible PBX 11.11.1 for Ubuntu 14
Asterisk: UP      Apache: UP    MySQL: UP
SendMail: DN    IPtables: UP      SSH: UP
LAN eth0: UP    Fail2Ban: UP  Webmin: UP
 
RAM:164824 "Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS"  Disk: 12G
 
Asterisk 11.12.0        FreePBX 2.11.0.34

When i log in, I see these files:

I assume that I can delete some of the older versions of each of these files. True? Or is there some semi-automatic way to delete the correct files?

thanks

On Ubuntu, it's better to do it with the package manager. Lots of methods here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793...old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu

 

[matt91]

great, thanks for the pointer. (I hadn't realized that this was really a Ubuntu question rather than a PIAF question.)

sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x.x-generic​

i wanted a command-line function, so this did it for me. (although it was really slow...)
