I am running 17.04.

After upgrading the kernel, I usually run Ubuntu Cleaner to remove old kernels.

After the old kernels are removed, the system always requests a reboot. I suspect that it has to do with the grub loader. Is there anything I can run to avoid this reboot, since I will already be running the new kernel and there should be no urgency?

    Do you also run sudo update-grub?

  • I do not, yet. I'll try that the next time it happens.

    There is an excellent kernel removal utility here.

  • I am currently running 4.10.0-37. Can I safely delete the other kernels from /boot (4.[28].*)?

  • Look at the files /var/run/reboot* - packages requiring a reboot usually leave their names there.
