Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to remove programs
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.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to remove programs
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.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to remove programs
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.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to remove programs
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 remove old kernel images.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to remove programs
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.

> it gives me the following message: "device is busy. 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 http://www.howtogeek.com/114503/how-to-resize-your-ubuntu-partitions/
Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to remove programs
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
"s/\([0-9.-]*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/q;p') | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge
Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to remove programs
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 processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))" Any ideas on how to solve it?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to remove programs
Alright. I'll try doing that. Thanks.

> "sda 8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk" You have more than enough disk-space, but: > "sda1 8:1 0 14G 0 part /" 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 the partition table right is the longterm solution because even if you remove programs, you can't install (for example) FlightGear. Try executing: sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get autoremove To regain some space.

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
Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to remove programs
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 /
