Updating synaptics driver on Ubuntu for Dell docking station to work

I use a big docking station block that allows me yo use 3 monitors with my laptop. At times when a fully Ubuntu system update occurs it breaks the driver. The solution is to either re-install the existing driver or update to a new one.

Follow instructions here from Synaptics

# Download deb repo file and install it

sudo apt install ./Downloads/synaptics-repository-keyring.deb

sudo apt update

Free up boot drive for more kernels

It has come to the point where I have been given a Linux laptop and the /boot partition is really small and only holds 2 kernels. Each time I try to upgrade it stops beacuse the /boot partition runs out of space.

Here are some commads I use to free up some space.

# check what kernel version I am currently using
uname -a

# list the kernels currently installed
