Cannot upgrade to new version of Kubuntu
Discover shows there is “a new version of Kubutu is available”. Version 16.04 'Xenial Xerus. When I click the upgrade button, it goes through the process, and I get an error message at the end.

“Not enough free disk space. The upgrade has aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 97.8 M free on disk ‘/boot’. Please free at least an additional 17.6 M of disk space on ‘/boot’. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installation using ‘sudo apt-get clean’. I’ve already done that, but it didn’t. Any idea how to complete the upgrade?

Have you also tried autoremove? This has done the trick for me on a couple kernel updates.

sudo apt-get autoremove

Please do not try upgrading as we do not support it.

Ok, fair enough, but every time I start the computer, it tells me a new version is available to upgrade. So how do I make it to ignore it for good?

Thank,

This should be possible in muons/plasma discover settings

I’ve looked and looked, and I can’t find any option in the settings to disable the notification. Any ideas?
By the way Netrunner 18 LTS should be out in a few months, isn’t?

First go to systemsettings -> notification -> other notifications. Make sure upgrade notifications is turned off.
As for plasma discover itself it seems it does not have a setting for notifications (anymore/yet).

At least here I don’t get any upgrade information. Only discover shows me a upgrade notice on top when started. (inside the window) which I can ignore or hide with a press on X.
