upgrade
I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm getting an error in software updater. When I try and do my daily updates, it says:
The upgrade needs a total of 25.3 M free space on disk
/boot
. Please free at least an additional 25.3 M of disk space on/boot
. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations usingsudo apt-get clean
.
I tried typing in sudo apt-get clean
into the terminal but I still get the message. All of the pages I read seem to be for experianced Ubuntuers. Any help would be appreciated. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10. I want to upgrade to 13.04 but understand I have to finish these first.
EDIT: @Alaa, This is the output from typing in cat /etc/fstab
into the terminal:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
