Sounds like /boot may be full of cruft from updates of kernel. Not sure how to clean unless you can install Ubuntu tweak from command line and run it from there. Maybe boot to command line and use apt-get as suggested.

Good evening
In more or less regular intervalls, when the computer tries to "update", 
I get the following error message:

"Not enough free space.
The upgrade needs a total of 81.9 MB of free space on the disk /boot.
Please free at least an additional of 20.4 MB of space on the disk /boot.
Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installation using
sudo apt-get clean."

File manager shows:
/boot = total space = 248.8 MB
used space  169.5 MB = 75%

I did not set this myself. However, I do recall using "entire disk + 
LVM" during setup and read somewhere, this might be problem.

What is this all about, and is there a way to make all this "automatic"?

Thank you.
Thomas
