Hello, I have been using Linux for about 3 months replacing Windows 10 on a desktop and a laptop. I have been very-pleased with the improvement in performance of Linux over Windows! I am experiencing an issue with my desktop computer, a Dell Precision T1600 with 465.76 GB free hard drive space (using 69.98 GB). The system is running Kernel 5.4.0-99-generic x86_64 bits, Cinnamon 5.2.7; Distro: Linux Mint 20.3 Una base, Ubuntu 20.04.
After an update a few weeks ago I noted that my boot directory free space was down to ~39 MB -- I do not know how much free space it initially had at installation. After my most recent update the directory is down to approximately 10 MB.
At the conclusion of the latest update I received a message that errors were encountered while processing:
linux-firmware
linux-image-generic
linux-genric
initramfs-tools
linux-image-5.4.0-100-generic
E: linux-firmware: installed linux-firmware package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
E: linux-image-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: initramfs-tools: installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
E: linux-image-5.4.0-100-generic: installed linux-image-5.4.0-100-generic package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
I am looking for any assistance to remedy the issue(s) and greatly appreciate any input into solving the problem with the shrinking directory memory that is critically low and the update errors. Thanks in advance.
