[Bug 1971101] Re: package linux-image-5.13.0-40-generic 5.13.0-40.45~20.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1

Hello, note your filesystem is full:

Filesystem     1K-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on
udev              981292        0    981292   0% /dev
tmpfs             202808     1508    201300   1% /run
/dev/sda5       11167656 11000192         0 100% /

That causes errors like this:

cp: error writing '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_jx7Z98//usr/bin/kmod': No space left on device
cp: error writing '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_jx7Z98//usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblzma.so.5.2.4': No space left on device
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_jx7Z98/etc/modprobe.d’: No space left on device
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_jx7Z98/lib/modprobe.d’: No space left on device
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_jx7Z98//etc/modprobe.d’: No space left on device

These errors are preventing your system update from finishing.

Free up some space on the root filesystem, and then try:

sudo apt install -f
or
sudo dpkg --configure -a

The full screen issue may require talking with VirtualBox support.

Thanks
