[sf-lug] boot is full

[Ken Shaffer]

Yup, your boot partition is tiny.  You can try to 1)unmount sda1 (the boot
partition), 2)see what's now in /boot, but assuming nothing, or only old
things not of interest anymore 3)remount the sda1 under /mnt
4)copy everything from /mnt back to /boot. and 5)edit the /etc/fstab file
to comment out the mount of sda1.
(Or just do the copy from a live media, that will definitely work).  When I
clean up old kernels, I do the following for the kernel you want to remove,
not the active one of course (not your immediate problem):
apt-cache pkgnames |grep 3.11.0.22
sudo apt-get purge `!!`
