I have tried Ubuntu Tweak, Synaptic and some command line stuff I found online, but nothing seems to work.



This is the output of dpkg -l linux-image-* | grep ^ii



ii  linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic                               3.13.0-24.47                                        amd64        Linux kernel image for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-extra-3.13.0-24-generic 3.13.0-24.47 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-generic 3.13.0.24.29 amd64 Generic Linux kernel image


What are my options? I only need to free 3 MB for a the kernel update.



Thanks in advance!



When I run this, I get that output:



$ sudo update-grub

But when I try to delete one of those entries, I get this:



$ sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.0.0-12-generic

E: No se ha podido localizar el paquete linux-image-3.0.0-12-generic
E: No se pudo encontrar ningún paquete con la expresión regular «linux-image-3.0.0-12-generic»


Basically, it says it doesn't find the package or image I'm trying to delete.

PS: is it possible to delete the current kernel or the extras (linux-image-extra-3.13.0-24-generic) and, at the same time, install the newest kernel, all of this using Synaptic?

Looks like you have a bunch of files that don't belong to any package. Assuming you are currently running 3.13.0, you can just do rm /boot/*-3.0.0-12-generic
