Ubuntu Boot Issues

Is this a problem started with the automatic security update feature of ubuntu? Is that option enabled on on this server?

@Dashrender said in Ubuntu Boot Issues:
boy that didn't help much.
oh it did. went from 100% used to just 70% used.
That was after you started your manual cleanup, which took you to 75%, now the automated tools took you down to 70%, that's what I was talking about.

@scottalanmiller said in Ubuntu Boot Issues:
The real question would be... why are you running Ubuntu if this is seen as a frustration? I realize in this case, Ubiquiti controllers more or less require it and that's a huge pain that they have introduced. But in general, just don't use it.
Yep, this is why I use it.. Ubiquiti and XO.
Same here.
-
During the course of this yesterday - the sources.list file got wiped.
Attempts to correct this resulted in more frustration so the VM was restored from back up and and running through this again.
I have updated a process or two to include the needed commands.
Currently space has been freed, the system updated, and autoremove is now running.

I never looked. Why is it only 228M?

Maybe it was imported as an appliance or something.
I have had some appliances (Graylog, I'm staring at you) that set up odd partition sizes that crippled the system quickly.

Ubuntu's default partitioning makes the boot partition really small. I usually go in and make it bigger when I install Ubuntu.

Here is what Ubuntu did on my UniFi controller. It has a 127GB vhdx because I was lazy and just clicked next through the VM creation wizard.

In the week or so since we discussed "Why CentOS and not Ubuntu" there are like 3 of these annoying types of things every day.

Holy crap that's big

So I just tried to upgrade my UniFi controller since I noticed it was stuck on 16.04. Apparently when it upgraded from whatever previous version it was on, the release flag got set to only upgrade to the LTS line /sigh...
/etc/update-manager/release-upgradeswas set toPrompt=ltsI changed it to
Prompt=normaland then did the upgrade. Boom not enough space on /boot.
-
@JaredBusch When I upgraded to 16.10, it also disabled the unifi repos and I had to go in and enable them again.

That is normal with ever distribution upgrade in unbuntu. i know and expect that. part of the upgrade process is to disable all 3rd party repos.
-
@JaredBusch Good to know... this was the first time I upgraded a distro and didn't realize that would happen.
-
This right here is hateful.
New release available run this.
Run that, and
no release foundugh - but linux is so much the easy. -

Read that,.//
Did that,

I never bothered to check syntax, google told me to do this.
bnaadmin@bnauc02:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade -dIt worked.
I'm not out to learn Ubuntu practices.
