[xubuntu-users] "Not enough space on disk /boot"

[fernando]

Here I give you another way. Although I think cleaning boot partition 
it's recomended.

I once had this problem and resized boot patiiton, using Gparted. There 
is a risk while resizing a partition, so you should make a backup of 
important personal files al least.

It takes a while, and it musn't be interrupted or you got a broken 
filesystem. Full the battery and do it while connected to power anyway.
In my Lenovo V360 laptop it took like 1 hour to resize 260GB that 
contained less than 100GB in files.

You need a live distro with a recent Gpaerted version. Using the same 
Xubuntu you have installed, is a good idea.
