[xubuntu-users] Intel SSD Full? 240 GB gone for Xubuntu /boot

[Curt Dawe]

Well guys,

 

I'm an admitted dabbler in Linux only.  I get a terribly frustrating error
when I try to update my xubuntu setup.  When I click the software updater it
tells me I've no space left on /boot to update the system. 

 

I've done the old "apt-get autoremove" thing and even ran Bleachbit as root
to try to recover some space, but to no avail. I can't for the life of me,
even with a live CD of Xubuntu, seem to get the darned Gparted application
to resize those 3 main system partitions on my 240GB Intel SSD.

 

I can't see why boot is limited to such a tiny space (sorta leaves limited
to no room for updates) as it seems to be. I used the automatic setup
process on install for the most part, except for having to mess with the
fstab file to get some of my shares on separate drives to boot and mount
automatically (which baffles me why that's needed too . but I digress LOL)
It appears like the boot is tiny, and some other "lvm" partition or
something is taking up the honking big space that's showing up as ..
unallocated?  I know I've got a number of Apps installed, but I refuse to
believe 240 GB is plain gone?

 

What do I do to resize this . or is this a wipe and start over (again) type
deal?

 

Thanks for any help
