Someone give me the advise to use the LVM option on a fresh Xubuntu
15.04 install so i did. Use one internal drive, a 256GB SSD and a 2TB
network drive (small NAS) for external storage. Hope there will be a fix
to autoremove those old kernels from /boot partitions before upgrading a
new one.

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.
