When trying to run the automatic update I get as alarm that " Your boot sector is full" try to delete you trash or/and run: sudo apt-get clean in your bootsector .

I've tried but it doesn`t help - bootsector is about 245MB large on Ubuntu 14.04 and 500 Gb HD

You should try to remove the old kernels, i.e. the packages named linux-image-xxxxx-generic, where xxxxx is any old version that you are not using. In order to see which version you're using you can run:

uname -a

Take a look at this solution.

If that doesn't help, could you please show us what files are at/boot?

  • Ok, please stay calm and use proper grammar. Please copy the output of ls /boot from a terminal.

  • What you are trying to do is correct, but please keep in mind that linux does exactly what you ask it to do. You should remove all of those packages but the latest kernel, which in your case seems to be linux-3.16.0-30-generic. If you misspelled sudo like you did above, the command will not work. Please check your commands for spelling errors.
