Low Disk Space on "boot"

Hardware Librem 5
,
1

I got “The volume “boot” has only 0 bytes disk space remaining” as I tried to update my L5.

I guess I’d have to remove old Kernels so I listed the /boot directory

purism@pureos:~$ ls -l /boot

currently running kernel release

purism@pureos:~$ uname -r
5.16.0-1-librem5

I guess in order the remove all but the currently running Kernel release, I’d run this
$ sudo rm /boot/*-5.13.0-{14,15}-*

correct?

If so, I would later continue with the cleanup using
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
$ sudo apt install -f
$ sudo apt autoremove
$ sudo apt upgrade

In hope someone went trough this before and can help me.

If you search the forum, you will see that they have.

Fair enough, though I imagine the process is the same since it’s all pureos.

if so, then you could easily tell me if my toughts in OP are the right way to continue.

I could if I used pureos. You’re gonna have to do the legwork on this one.

Or take a look at this proposal of mine and execute:

This is already explained:

Source of osk-sdl package, that includes few more details (yet missing current Librem 5 upgrade related and important explanation, as above provided), is here.

I got the same thing just now about two years later. Funny, I thought upgrades took care of the old stuff.

Anyway solution above.
