[15:14] <cmaloney> Good morning
[16:51] <n0p> anyone use unattended-upgrades? i have it on for a few servers and just found my /boot partition full of kernels. Trying to see if a way to blocklist them..
[16:51] <n0p> best i found so far is this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1500630
[16:52] <n0p> but some hack about tweaking the unattended-upgrades script direct (since it doesnt support regex in the Blacklist)
[16:54] <n0p> hmm, /me wonders if just uninstalling the inux-image-generic pkg will do it
[16:55] <n0p> i'll report back after a long hiatus ;-)
[16:57] <jrwren_> n0p: i've hit the same issue. I've never found a good solution.
[16:59] <n0p> the servers in question did have the meta generic image package, i uninstalled it and will see if that helps
[17:00] <n0p> i'm all ntp patched up now

[17:05] <rick_h_> n0p: isn't there a command to auto clean older kernels?
[17:08] <n0p> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have one liner sed script to list em out (then remove), but would be nice to be preventative on the issue
[17:10] <n0p> other issue may be that the running kernel was the oldest kernel (since all the others were auto added since last start)
[17:11] <n0p> I'll get over it, but if I can figure a way to avoid the work, you know I'm there
[17:32] <mrgoodcat> dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge
[17:32] <mrgoodcat> ^^ cron that
[17:33] <mrgoodcat> if you're brave enough that is
[17:33] <mrgoodcat> mrgoodcat from the internet says its ok :)
[17:34] <cmaloney> Well then
[17:36] <mrgoodcat> but really i have run that line and it does work.
[17:36] <mrgoodcat> cron at your own risk though
[17:39] <mrgoodcat> n0p: uninstalling linux-image-generic will make it so you don't get prompted for kernel updates. i'd suggest keeping it
[17:39] <mrgoodcat> all it does is depend on the most recent kernel package
[17:48] <rick_h_> heh, I thought it was automted but seems to be a frequent enuogh question https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/RemoveOldKernels and http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-remove-or-hide-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu
