Please verify that you have read and understood the guidelines.

yes

A clear and concise description of the issue.

On my Proxmox 8.3.0 (clean install, no on-top-of), executing the script results is 0 removed kernels, though there are 4 of them (ii) beside the two latest

What settings are you currently utilizing?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

Which Linux distribution are you employing?

Debian 12

If relevant, including screenshots or a code block can be helpful in clarifying the issue.

No response

Please provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue.

  1. check kernels via "dpkg --list|grep proxmox-kernel.-pve." - 6 in total, one iU, one not installed due to lack of disk space (6.8, tat's why I'm trying to clean it up), 4 more marked as ii
  2. execute the script (as of 27.11) via bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/misc/kernel-clean.sh)"
  3. reboot
  4. check kernels via dpkg --list|grep proxmox-kernel.-pve.

Expected: the list after 4 will differ from that in step 1
Actual: the list is the same
I had to uninstall them manually via dpkg -P that worked just fine

Just a thought, I presume when you ran the script, it gave a list of kernels and you manually selected the ones you wanted to delete like in the image below?

yes, I've checked 1 out of 6 for the test

Did you get any errors? And did you get the Removing 'selected' old Kernels info message?

msg_info "Removing ${CL}${RD}$(echo $remove_kernels | awk '{print NF}') ${CL}${YW}old Kernels${CL}"
/usr/bin/apt purge -y $remove_kernels >/dev/null 2>&1
msg_ok "Successfully Removed Kernels"

errors - nope, I would include this essential info into the report. No warnings, no errors, can't recall I've seen any progress-like indicator (it's unlikely), just silent exit of the script with no expected outcome.
As I had to remove them manually, I no longer have infra to reproduce - though I will eventually get it again, as kernels will pile up.

can you test the dev change here?

 bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MickLesk/Proxmox_DEV/refs/heads/main/misc/kernel-clean.sh)"

it need some time, because proxmox changed some things in background
