I could not sleep so I got back up to check this out. Turns out that
/usr/lib is5.1 GB and /usr/share is 3.9 GB. Nothing else is very big.
Guess I need to uninstall some things or resize the partition.
You could also move /usr/share to your home partition and symlink it back.
/usr/share is designed to be shared resource, so moving it elsewhere is
harmless as long as you put the symlink in.

moin moin,
On one of my machines I have two partitions for Ubuntu. They are mounted
as / and /home. I am getting a message saying the root filesystem is
nearly full. When I run df -h, it shows me that /dev/sda5 is mounted as /
and had 13.5 GB of 14 GB used. After I cleaned up some old kernels,
unused
packages and a couple of other thing, it showed something like 11.5 GB of
14 GB used.
My question is: What is the best way to find what else is overcrowding /?
In other words to do something like run du but restrict it to /dev/sda5.
Sorry, I am on a Windows system ATM.
Try 'du -sh /root /lib* /usr /var /tmp' is a good start. /root should
be small, but can pick up cruft. In your case probably not since it's a
self-adminned system using sudo :). Normally I would also include /boot,
but if you removed old kernel packages that should be rather small.
Most likely you'll be cleaning out /tmp if you don't boot very often or
something in /var.
