Hello,
I downloaded turboprint_2.45-1_amd64.deb trial, hoping it will enable me to use my Canon Pixma MP600. I right clicked on the downloaded file and selected "open with Gdebi package installer", I got a message about broken dependencies:
linux-image-extra-4.4.0-97-generic -- Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
linux-image-extra-4.4.0-113-generic -- Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
linux-image-generic -- Generic Linux kernel image
I followed the instruction to run "sudo apt-get install -f" from terminal. It did not work.
I went to the Synaptic Package Manager and using help found broken dependencies and "applied" to fix them, this is the detail from the error box:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-4.4.0-113-generic_4.4.0-113.136_amd64.deb: cannot copy extracted data for './boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-113-generic' to '/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-113-generic.dpkg-new': failed to write (No space left on device)
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-4.4.0-97-generic_4.4.0-97.120_amd64.deb: cannot copy extracted data for './boot/System.map-4.4.0-97-generic' to '/boot/System.map-4.4.0-97-generic.dpkg-new': failed to write (No space left on device)
I should probably tell you, I tried many different things to try to fix it myself, from online searching and a couple of different Linux forum archives, but nothing works and I hope I have not totally messed up my system. If you tell me I just need to reload a fresh copy of Linux Lite, I guess I can, just not looking forward to tweeking Firefox and Thunderbird again.
At one point it said there was "no more room" but I figure I just did something wrong, because this is a new computer & I am a novice Linux user. I found another command to find how my hard drive is being used, this was the result:
:~$ df -H

I searched this forum and found this thread "Re: Broken packages linux kernel". I found the person had tried many of the commands I did, in the end it looks like the instructions said "Here is what we will do next. We will use dpgk instead. This is a little drastic and can be dangerous at times". Do I dare try these steps myself?
Help please.
