You probably made your root partition too small. Please post the output of sudo fdisk -l (that is a lowercase L at the end) and df -h; both commands must be run from a terminal.

I think you can create a separate /var partition and add to fstab. However I am not really sure if this will wok. Can someone confirm this?

How did you partition your disk.
Did you do like /root /usr/ /home If so depending on how long you have ubuntu install your /var/log/ can be really full. But it takes awhile to do that. But yes run this copy and paste for help Code:
sudo fdisk -l (shows your partitions) |
update issue
Hi,
I am also having this same issue. Have found several sites that are recommending sudo apt-get clean, dumping tmp files, etc. None of these things are working, for me or for anyone else apparently. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 of an brand new 500GB hard drive yesterday and let the partition configurator on the install disc decide what partitions it wanted to make. From what I can tell, it created a system partition of 2.3GB and proceeded to fill it with the base installation of 2.2GB of system. Message: Not enough free disk space The upgrade needs a total of 483M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 438M of disk space on '/'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'. So after one day I'm getting the unable to update message and my system drive is full. Even tho there is 450+ GB on a partition right next to it. Is there a way to increase the size of the partition now, without having to start over? Why didn't it partition at least 4GB, since that is what is recommended? I appreciate any thoughts on this, UncaBee |

Alternative is to download gparted liveCD, burn it and use that to resize. |
That's what I was afraid of. At least it's only a couple days, I haven't had a chance to collect much data yet.
Thanks for clearing that up, Wim. UncaBee |
Yes, that did it. 30GB for system, just in case. I found a couple of good tutorials on proper partitioning. That was a big help.
All seems well now. Thanks again! |
