However, I did a check for updates and there are some.
But Ubuntu tells me there isn't enough space on /boot to do the updates.
I've checked the structure of the MicroSD and there is a small unallocated space at the beginning, /boot, which is about 52MB followed by / which takes up the rest of the 32GB space.
Is there a reason why the updates are trying to install to /boot rather than /?
I am fairly certain that you are misinterpretting something .
... reboot your pine board and open a terminal. Next ; sudo -i
cd
apt update
apt upgrade
... see if that works.
Its not going to try to put the updates on /boot...
Many thanks for this advice. It worked perfectly.
I was trying to update from the Mate System/Administration/Software Updater menu option, which listed a number of updates. When I clicked 'Install' I got the dialog in the attachment to this post.
I then used 'apt update' and 'apt upgrade' as you advised and all of the updates were installed. I then rebooted and used the System/Administration/Software Updater menu option again and Ubuntu reports that the system is up to date.
I'm happy that the update is done, but as you can see from my attached screenshot, there is an issue about space on /boot.
I'll use the terminal to update in future, but I thought it useful to post the screenshot.
