Can't upgrade ubuntu due to low disk space on /boot (Linux)

If you get some error like this while updating Ubuntu (Linux)

The upgrade has aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 56.7 M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 3,816 k of disk space on '/boot'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'.

Reason:

Your file system doesn't have enough free space to install new packages of newer version to /boot partition

Solution is:

1>Run following command on terminal

dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d'

>>results will be like this
linux-headers-3.11.0-20
linux-headers-3.11.0-20-generic
linux-headers-3.11.0-22
linux-headers-3.11.0-22-generic
linux-headers-3.11.0-23
linux-headers-3.11.0-23-generic
linux-headers-3.11.0-24
linux-headers-3.11.0-24-generic
linux-image-3.11.0-20-generic
linux-image-3.11.0-22-generic
linux-image-3.11.0-23-generic
linux-image-3.11.0-24-generic
linux-image-3.5.0-48-generic
linux-image-extra-3.11.0-20-generic
linux-image-extra-3.11.0-22-generic
linux-image-extra-3.11.0-23-generic
linux-image-extra-3.11.0-24-generic
linux-image-extra-3.5.0-48-generic

2> Then run this command

uname -a

>>result will be

Linux user 3.11.0-26-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 04:04:15 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

3> In the second step you will get kernel version currently running (3.11.0-26-generic ). Then what you should do is purge unwanted/old kernel image as follows

sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.5.0-48-generic

Turn off/ Hide Details panel/ Information Panel on modern SharePoint lists

Not always we require to show changes done by other which is a mandatory feature in SharePoint online.  What is details pane (aka. Information Pane)? Detail pane/ Information shows information regarding the document if you selected a one or its showing recent changes within a list or library. Follow link to Microsoft documentation about details pane. Bad news: Until Microsoft listen to User Voice , there is no straightforward way to enable disable this even you don't want. Good news: We could write a SharePoint framework extension to hack styles until Microsoft give us a permanent solution. How? I found this sample project (Inject CSS into modern SharePoint pages with React) which could reuse to our purpose. Thanks to Hugo for saving my time.  Steps to awesomeness:  Clone the project Resolve dependencies >  npm i Bundle >  gulp bundle --ship Package >  gulp package-solution --ship Upload package into SharePoint App catalog

Eliminate Duplicates in Microsoft Flow and Azure Logic Apps

There is no straight forward method or Microsoft Flow action  to eliminate values in a collection like Microsft Excel (as of March 2019). This little hack will help you to eliminate/ remove duplicates and create a collection of unique values. Sample scenario: Need to send daily summarized notification to assigned approved with pending approval items. Sample workflow: Initialize an array Iterate collection of data and append items that are not there in the filtered array Side note: This won't be an option to consider if you too concerned about the performance of the workflow but for the time being its an option to consider.
