I did sudo apt-get clean before. I made a backup of my files and would like
to resize but wasn't able to do it yet.
Another thing you can easily and absolutely risk free do is clean the apt
cache.sudo apt-get clean
Of course, if you first make backups, then resizing the partitions is risk
free as well.
I see. I've no idea how I got this very small home partition. I'll have to
remove the old kernel images next time I'm running out of space, if I can't
find any other solution. Thanks for your help.
Expanding it would be risky, so if I were you I would wait until your next
upgrade. Then what I would do is abandon the approach of having a separate
/home partition and just make it all one partition (this is what I do now).
That amount of space should be fine as long as you periodically
Thank you. That freed more than 5 GiB, according to the program. It should
last for a while. Still, the partition's total size is only 13.97 GiB, so I'd
like to find a way to expand it.

Pardon my comment but I don't know your level of expertise..
You are not trying to do that within your normal Trisquel session, right? To
do that you will need to use a live DVD / USB
This command will relieve you of all old kernel versions, giving you more
space:
sudo echo $(dpkg --list | grep linux-image | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -V |
sed -n '/'`uname -r`'/q;p') $(dpkg --list | grep linux-headers | awk '{ print
$2 }' | sort -V | sed -n '/'"$(uname -r | sed
I decided to expand the partition for "/" but I've encountered an issue.
I'm using GParted and it won't let me unmount it or modify it. I tried
unmounting with the terminal using sudo umount /dev/sda1 but it gives me the
following message: "device is busy.(In some cases useful info about
Alright. I'll try doing that. Thanks.

You have more than enough disk-space, but:

Indeed. The installer assigned only 14GB for /. I had this very same problem.
And the solution for me was format and make the partitions manually with the
intelligence only a human posses.
Making
df -h would be easier to read.
This is what I get:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:00 465.8G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1014G 0 part /
├─sda2 8:20 1K 0 part
├─sda5 8:50 10.4G 0 part [SWAP]
└─sda6 8:60 441.4G 0 part /home
sr0 11:01 1024M 0 rom
Perhaps you allowed the installer do the partition table and you end up with
low disk space for /?
Please run this command and paste the output: lsblk
This way I can know if you have too little space assigned for /
