[Bug 1357093] Re: LVM or Encrypted install creates too small /boot partition

[jsland]

Same problem here for some months now on 14.04 Studio.  Autoremove and
bleachbit don't deal with it.  Manual cleanup around the November
timeframe last year got me to the March cycle of updates before /boot
was overloaded again.  Problem appears to me to be centered on the fact
the old ver. are not being removed completely.  Using synaptic to get
rid of older ver. only seems to clear a fraction of the reported image
size.

Title:
  LVM or Encrypted install creates too small /boot partition

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently if one chooses to use LVM or encrypted install, a /boot
  partition is created of 236Mb

  Once kernel updates start being released this partition soon fills
  until people are left unable to upgrade.

  While you and I might know that we need to watch partition space, many
  of the people we have installing think that a windows disk is a disk
  and not a partition, education is probably the key - but in the
  meantime support venues keep needing to deal with the fact the
  partition is too small and/or old kernels are not purged as new ones
  install.
