Although edwin’s answer accurately describes how to free up space on /boot (563 up votes) it doesn’t address the question of how to incorporate /boot into / to avoid micro-management of disk space.
This question is a good example with gparted image:
Please help me here. I am always getting messages saying no free space
available in boot partition.
This is the good answer by Pilot6 posted for that question:
You need to boot from Ubuntu LiveUSB first.
Your
sda5,sda6andsda7partitions are inside the extended
sda4partition.You will need to extend
sda4, then movesda5andsda6left, then
extendsda7.You will also need to re-install grub, because start sector of your
/bootpartition will change. It can be done from LiveUSB bysudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/boot sudo chroot /mnt sudo grub-install /dev/sda exit
