Recently, I updated my Ubuntu 16.04 and now I am facing problem with my boot space. How can I fix this problem? Is there any way to reallocate the /boot space?

1Have you tried to run `sudo apt autoremove` in a terminal, to remove unused packages, including old kernels ? – Soren A Nov 10 '17 at 12:54

I haven't tried it, but Will it affect my other dependent packages? – Vijesh Nov 10 '17 at 12:58

`autoremove` only removes the packages and dependencies which are not being used. – Manish Kumar Bisht Nov 10 '17 at 13:04

It will only remove autoinstalled packages there isn't needed anymore. It lists the packages it want to remove, so you have a chance to opt out if it looks wrong. Also `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade` should suggest to run autoremove. – Soren A Nov 10 '17 at 13:07

is your `/boot` a separate partion? – hellozee Nov 10 '17 at 13:07

@KuntalMajumder `the volume "boot" .. ` it says. So Yes, boot is a separate partition. – Soren A Nov 10 '17 at 13:09

@SorenA then even purging packages wont make any difference, I think.. – hellozee Nov 10 '17 at 13:10

I think using autoremove sometimes may kill desktop drivers also. – Vijesh Nov 10 '17 at 13:13

@KuntalMajumder; autoremove will also remove old kernels from /boot, so it will help. – Soren A Nov 10 '17 at 13:19

@SorenA ohh well, cleaning the whole partition and then installing grub there can be a solution – hellozee Nov 10 '17 at 13:23

Thanks @SorenA 'sudo apt-get autoremove' fixed my problem, without affecting other packages. – Vijesh Nov 10 '17 at 13:43
