There is a service called "purge-kernels" which runs on boot by default which cleans up the multiple installed kernels.
Check with "systemctl status purge-kernels".
I get the following output: purge-kernels.service - Purge old kernels
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service;
disabled)
Active: inactive (dead) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/purge-kernels.service
So something is not enabled that should be. The empty file /boot/do_purge_kernels already exists. The file /usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service references /sbin/purge-kernels, so I simply ran this and it successfully removed the oldest of the three kernels I have installed, freeing up some space in /boot.
The question then is should that service be enabled by default and why wasn't it? Running systemctl status purge-kernels again now, it is still disabled. How do I set it to enabled?
Hello,
I was curious to check my setup, since also I use a separate (limited space) of /boot partition and I get this response:
marco@linux-turion64:~> sudo systemctl status purge-kernels.service purge-kernels.service - Purge old kernels Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service; enabled) Active: inactive (dead) start condition failed at Sat, 2013-06-15 12:43:52 BRT; 9min ago
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/purge-kernels.service
Why it says "start condition failed"?
Cheers,

I just checked mine after reading your thread. I have the same message: [CODE] ------------ rpl7:~> systemctl status purge-kernels purge-kernels.service - Purge old kernels Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service; enabled) Active: inactive (dead) start condition failed at Sat, 2013-06-15 08:38:31 PDT; 32min ago CGroup: name=systemd:/system/purge-kernels.service [/CODE] Never noticed before. Could have been an update I did yesterday. Have you reported this as a bug?
