You have been subscribed to a public bug:

default partitioning of ubuntu picks a far too small size for /boot/

This results in that even a very few security updates of the kernel
break due to out of disk space problems


/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root  157G   78G   72G  52% /
/dev/sdb2                    237M  202M   23M  91% /boot
/dev/sdb1                    511M  3,4M  508M   1% /boot/efi


suggestion:
allocate somewhat more space for /boot/    250M is maybe too conservative


workaround
sudo apt-get autoremove
