How to fix Low disk space on "boot"

A common issue is when /boot partition is full. You receive the following message:

"Low disk space on "boot". The volume "boot" has only 0 bytes disk space remaining"

To fix it, you must delete old kernels.
First, you must list all of them and I recomend remove the oldest and keep the last two newest (if you have problems with the last, you can use the other).

To list all of them, use this command:

 # dpkg -l linux-image-\* | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}'
linux-image-4.13.0-36-generic
linux-image-4.13.0-37-generic
linux-image-4.13.0-38-generic
linux-image-4.13.0-39-generic
linux-image-4.13.0-41-generic

Now, you must purge the oldest kernels with the following command:

# sudo apt-get purge linux-image-4.13.0-{36,37,38}-generic

You need to change the values according to the values you have.
Finally, update grub

# sudo update-grub

Enjoy it!

How to fix Android when developer options are not available for this user

I have an Android One with Oreo version and suddenly my Android rebooted and after that it started to behave strangely: 1) Notification section doesn't work. I can't see notifications from my apps and the arrow and the screw icon to settings access don't work. 2) As I can't access to the notification area, I can't enable Use USB to Transfer Files to access to my phone memory. 3) I can't access to developer mode (I before active it with a lot of taps over Build number). Clicking on developer options just shows developer options are not available to this user. 4) I can't update or install the apps on google play. They freeze on Download pending... message 5) Home and Switch buttons don't work. They light up and vibrate when I tap them but they do nothing. This issue is apparently related to a deconfiguration of user accounts. To fix it, you need re-setup the users. As you can't access to the user manager (you are in guest mode
