Hi, I just installed ubuntu 9.04 on a dual boot with Windows Vista. I'm trying to update and I get a message 'no free disk space' and an explanation that I don't have enough disk space on '\'. I should have enough free space.
I went to Gparted, I have 132Gb in partition /dev/sda2, file system ext2. I have partition /dev/sda5 file system ext3 mounted as '/', which has zero free space. What do I do in this situation.
grant@grant-laptop:~$ mount
/dev/sda5 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

Nice try - change the < > to [ ] and the included will be formatted properly (you can edit your own posts).
Go to sf.net and get and run the bootinfo script - post the generated RESULTS.txt. It'll show us what's pointing to what.
This download isn't working. I went to sourceforge.net, found the boot_info_script, tried to download it. The download window doesn't open, I tried direct download, same thing. No files are being downloaded. Tried to change the 'save files to' under preferences, and it won't let me enter anything or browse.

That's where it leaves off, the last command doesn't have an output.
