After using Ubuntu Linux for a while, you will find that many kernels have been installed in the system due to automatic upgrade. Like me, I actually installed so many of the following, which caused a long startup list. Some unused ones must be deleted. The method to delete the old Ubuntu Linux kernel:

The first step is to use the following command to list all installed kernels. In the following table, the kernel file with image is used. Select the package to uninstall and use apt-get to uninstall it

Admingu@andy:~$ dpkg-- get-selections | grep linux

Libselinux1 install

Linux-generic install

Linux-headers-2.6.24-16 install

Linux-headers-2.6.24-18 install

Linux-headers-2.6.24-18-generic install

Linux-headers-2.6.24-19 install

Linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic install

Linux-headers-generic install

Linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic deinstall

Linux-image-2.6.24-18-generic install

Linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic install

Linux-image-generic install

Linux-libc-dev install

Linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-generic deinstall

Linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-18-generic install

Linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic install

Linux-restricted-modules-common install

Linux-restricted-modules-generic install

Linux-sound-base install

Linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-16-generic deinstall

Linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-18-generic install

Linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic install

Util-linux install

Util-linux-locales install

The specific unloading method is

Sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic

Sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic

This enables the automatic deletion of kernel files and frees up disk space.

There is also a command to record.

Uname-a

Use this command to view the kernel used by the current system.

After uninstalling, there are options in the startup menu, so we need to modify the startup menu

The method is as follows: open menu.lst with the command

Sudo gedit / boot/grub/menu.lst

Then find the unwanted menu to delete it, and also note that remember to change the value of default, modify the default startup item!

I hope these methods of deleting the old Ubuntu Linux kernel will be helpful to you.
