Re: apt-get upgrade fails due to kernel-image problem
Well, you have only 6,7M free on /boot device. Whole disk is partitioned
wery strangely. I would propose for desktop station:
1G /boot
1G swap
1G /var/log
rest /
Or something else, but defitely not, what you have now.
I would propose you to reinstall system and make bether partitioning.
