Error during installation


Recommended Posts

As you all have seen there have been lots and lots of updates in the last two weeks for Ubuntu linux. I only install critical and recommended updates and tonight I installed about 26 updates and one did not install and it looks pretty important! I am still new to this and need some help please! Here are some screen shots.

Thanks.

Edit: Sorry, I put this in the wrong place, if a mod would be so kind, I would appreciate you moving it to the correct place! Thank you.

"No space left on device"?

Do you have /boot in a separate partition? Can you do the following two commands?

sudo fdisk -l

sudo df -h

to show your partitioning and how much free space is available.

Thanks for the reply Mark. I was just away from the PC for a few moments I will check now!

gzip: stdout: No space left on device

Looks like your hard drive is full. Try checking with df -h to see the actual usage of your drives, just in case.

It appears that the boot area is full, how do grow or resize the boot partition? I am somewhat confused I had a look with GParted but I am not sure!

Remove some of your old kernels you don't use?

Seems safer than resizing partitions. ;)

Thanks again Mark, I went to the Ubuntu forums but can not find out how to do what you are suggesting! Sorry I was being obtuse so I can just delete whats in the boot folder that older that -18?

You can delete whatever ones you choose. And you might want to modify your menu.lst to not point to non-existent files that you manually removed.

i believe you can just remove them with the package manager. this should take care of the files as well as the menu.lst. or at least, it should.
