Linux Lite Forums - O NO I broken computer again. Ran out of space error

Pages: 1 2

What I did was open web browser to change WiFi password typed in address 192. then browser shutdown when i hit enter.
computer froze so rebooted.

Got this popup when I login when I click close I had black screen white arror.
I used a live image of LL on data stick looked at my hard drive partition 217 and used 206.

I tried to delete files off partition also tried to move files can't seem to do in a live LL, I looked at permissions they grayed out.
Open Terminal sudo su then password thought this give me admin rights to change partition to hard drive.

Also though LL would told me hard drive was filling up.

Thanks again for help.

PS what new theam

Hi,

Boot again...
At the grub screen select "recovery"
Then select "Root Shell" . I think it's called that.?

Then when you get the prompt:

Code:
df -h

Post the output, it shows where disk space is being used, like

Code:
Filesystem           Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

udev                 7.8G  4.0K  7.8G   1% /dev

tmpfs                1.6G  1.9M  1.6G   1% /run

/dev/sda1             50G  4.9G   42G  11% /

none                 4.0K     0  4.0K   0% /sys/fs/cgroup

none                 5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock

none                 7.8G   86M  7.7G   2% /run/shm

none                 100M   32K  100M   1% /run/user

/dev/sdb1             50G  915M   46G   2% /home

/dev/sdb2            148G  418M  140G   1% /mnt/data

/dev/sdb3            148G   92G   49G  66% /mnt/vbox

/dev/sdb4             99G  1.6G   92G   2% /mnt/vault

I picked try and make space, Computer has loaded ok now.
Best get data off.

Thanks Wirezfree [emoji41]

Looking at Gparted I'v got 11gb free on drive.

Wounder why browser window shutdown when I was about to login router.

O.K, forgot about the make space option.!!

Try the:

Code:
df -h

See what, and how much it's cleared.

It may have just emptied trash & temp files...

I use Lite Tweaks to clean most days.

Copying data to external drive.

Thanks again

So how much free space now.??

52gb copied some videos & music off

Hi DLX,

You've provided a real life example why it's a good idea and advisable to have the "home" folder on a separate partition. You might want to consider this next time you install the system... LL 3.0 ante portas Smile

Glad it's sorted...

Sometimes when you delete things, they don't always get deleted, and are hidden.
I had an issue a while back, and posted a link to a "trash tool".

Code:
sudo apt-get install trash-cli

Then do:

Code:
trash-list

to list hidden trash.

Then do

Code:
trash-empty

to remove hidden trash
