No, I wouldn't. get rid of the 3.19.0-80 tho.

[logan01]

No, I wouldn't. get rid of the 3.19.0-80 tho.

So select "no". Then how do I remove 3.19.0-80 individually? There's 3 of those; one "stand alone" for lack of a better term and the others includes a "-97".

linux-image-3.19.0-80-generic linux-image-4.4.0-97-generic
linux-image-extra-3.19.0-80-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-97-generic

In Muon Package Manager just select linux-image-3.19.0.80-generic and linux-image-extra-3.19.0-80-generic and mark both to be purged.

Ok. linux-image-extra-3.19.0-80-generic requires a reboot. I shall return.

[logan01]

That worked. Thanks.

Launch KInfocenter and report what kernel version it says you are using.

[oshunluvr]

Wow, almost nine GIGABYTES of old kernels and cruft! That has to be some sort of record!

[Snowhog]

Yes, the sheer volume of installed kernels surprised me as well!

[logan01]

Muon shows it to be 4.4.0-98.121



The following is a little out of context. Should I do this?

Finally, after uninstalling the kernel by either one of the processes above, run:
sudo update-grub
to clean the grub menu.

[logan01]

Muon shows a couple of 4.4.0-59 header deals. Remove them? I have -97 and -98.

[Snowhog]

Yes, remove them.

[vinnywright]

when you get back show us a

dpkg -l | grep linux-

,,,,,,,we will get a list of all the kernels , headers , and extras , + a few more things that are installed without you having to putts around in muon and post screen shots .

+ just so you know ,you can have more than 1 Knosole open at a time and be doing different things in each one , ,,,,remember when you were asking "should I select no to stop the autoremove and run that" ,,,you could have just opened a new Konsole and ran the extra command , but I did not want to take you out of your comfort zone by suggesting it at the heated moment

BUT now you have some serious Konsole time under your belt ,,,LOL,,, and you should get somewhat comfortable with the Konsole at least for doing updates ,,as you may have noticed you get more information on whats happening in a Konsole than you would from doing an update in Muon AND get a chance to say NO if you see something that looks out of place .

I would get in the habit of doing your updates in the console and reserving Muon for searching for software you want to install , that said , the command you want to run is

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

always ,,,I do it every day at my leisure (or when I think about it ) .

one more cool thing about the Konsole ,,,it remembers all these commands you have been typing (to a point) you can scroll through it's "history" by hitting the up arrow key and it gose backwards frome the last thing you typed in (and executed) on back ,,,,,,I cant remember of hand just how many entries it keeps but it's a lot.

Completed. Thanks.
