Unable to upgrade Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04: "WARNING:root:estimate_kernel_size_in_boot() returned '0'
The Linode is not using custom kernel but the latest kernel as the screenshot below.
~~![](<URL url=)http://i.stack.imgur.com/Gxsz6.png
From the terminal output (attached below using Script), it looks like the error has something to do with WARNING:root:estimatekernelsizeinboot() returned '0'?
Please share your thoughts if you've experienced similar issues when upgrading Ubuntu 10.04 to the next long term release.
Thank you in advance.

We also deleted the old partitions that we were no longer using.
The upgrade command, sudo do-release-upgrade, seems to progress further but still terminates with the same error 'WARNING:root:estimatekernelsizeinboot() returned '0'?'
Anything else that I can do to upgrade the Ubutun 10.04 Linode properly?
![](
While people do upgrades and it's quite common, personally, I never upgrade between major versions of distros. I like to do fresh installs to prevent any sort of issues cropping up without me knowing.
Last error in /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log = ERROR:root:Unauthenticated packages found.
How can I fix this?
Thank you.
