Does any one know why I get this over and over every time I delete an old kernel:
cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.2.0-64 linux-headers-3.2.0-64-generic linux-image-3.2.0-64-generic

Look for the red line at the bottom. I always end up having to do this to remove the folder:
cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ sudo rm -r -v /lib/modules/3.2.0-64-generic/kernel/drivers/char
[sudo] password for cavsfan:
removed directory: `/lib/modules/3.2.0-64-generic/kernel/drivers/char/drm'
removed directory: `/lib/modules/3.2.0-64-generic/kernel/drivers/char'And I know that is not right. It should be automagically removed.
