Desinstalar viejos kernels y limpiar el menu de GRUB

Desinstalar viejos kernels y limpiar el menu de GRUB

1. Lo primero es ver que versiones de kernel tenemos instaladas en el sistema. Para ello hacemos:

~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image

2. A continuacion se trata de desinstalar (borrando los archivos de configuracion) los kernels no deseados (generalmente serian los antiguos, recomiendo dejar uno anterior al de uso cotidiano, por si las emergencias.

~# aptitude remove --purge linux-image-XXX

Donde debes sustituir XXX por la version de kernel que quieres desinstalar (por ej. 2.6.15-23-386).

Notese que solo necesitamos poderes de superusuario para eliminar el Kernel, no para buscarlos.

Para el dia 01/08/10 06:07 pm un amigo me pidio que le desistalara esos kernel que se lehabian  acumulado en el menu GRUB por lo que hice lo siguiente:

rodney@Kubuntu:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image
linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic                   install
linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic                   install
linux-image-2.6.28-16-generic                   install
linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic                   install
linux-image-2.6.31-15-generic                   install
linux-image-2.6.31-17-generic                   install
linux-image-generic                                   install

Como se puede ver tiene 7 Kernel asi que procedi a quitarlos unoa uno asi  que:

rodney@Kubuntu:~$ sudo aptitude remove --purge linux-image-2.6.31-11-generic






rodney@Kubuntu:~$ sudo aptitude remove --purge linux-image-generic
