Not Enough Free disk Space ERROR upgrading 14.04 LTS to 14.10

by Juniya · Updated May 13, 2015

Problem: Just tried my 1st sudo do-release-upgrade -d to upgrade from Ubuntu Gnome 14.04-1 to 14.10 but getting an error message that confuses me.My hard drive is 1TB and I have a good 700GB left so can’t be that.

Calculating the changes

Not enough free disk space

The upgrade has aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 63.1 M free space on disk ‘/boot’. Please free at least an additional 22.0 M of disk space on ‘/boot’. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using ‘sudo apt-get clean’.

Restoring original system state

Solution: Do what the system is telling you, try to run Sudo apt-get clean command and then re-install, if it fails again, you might need to partition another portion of your Hard-drive and see if it can install it in that partition.
