[Trisquel-users] Running out of space in partition 1

2016-10-29 Thread aferyok 
My Partition 1 has 15GB, with 2.6GB still free, about 83% full.  I have not  
installed any software other than what I am required to.  Each time I do an  
update, I have a little bit less space left.
I have had this computer for at least two years (perhaps four).  Do I need to  
manually delete log files with sudo?  Do I need to leave my computer on  
overnight?  How do I fix this?  Thank you.

15 GB sounds like a decent amount.

Have you deleted your APT cache? That's all the packages you've ever  
downloaded. You can do that withsudo apt-get cleanor somewhere in the  
Synaptic package manager too if you wish to do it graphically.


Besides that you've probably collected a fair number of kernels, you only  
need one so you might want to uninstall the older ones, at 150 megs a pop.


The logs probably don't take a huge amount of space but if they do and you  
have no use for them, feel free to zap them.

I thank you.  I appreciate your help.  I executed the command:  "sudo apt-get  
clean", and it freed up .3GB.
I then did: find / Linux-image-versionnumber, which, of course, found  
nothing.  I think that I need more detailed assistance with this  
recommendation.

I thank you for your help.  I appreciate it.
I did:   "ls -l /var/cache", and only fifteen files listed.  All but one had  
4096, and one had 12,288 bytes?.

I think that i will forget about deleting the log files for now.

You could try bleachbit for cleaning up some space.
Don't check "memory" and "disk space" under "system" (the first is buggy, the  
second can take hours).

sudo apt-get install bleachbit
sudo bleachbit

Correction: I meant to write that: all of the Linux images with 3.13 and  
"generic" had a green block to the left.

Thank you, Magic Banana for your help.
I typed: sudo du -hs /var/cache, and it freed up only .2GB.

I typed: uname -r, and it gave me:  3.13.0-100-generic.

I went into the Synaptic Package Manager and searched for Linux.
All of the Linux images with 3.13 had a green block to the left, as did an  
image with 3.2.0.
I also saw many Linux images with 3.16, 3.19, 4.2.0.  None of them had a  
green block to the left.

I also saw many files called LinuxCloud and Linux headers.
Am I running with a very old version of the kernel?

Success.  69 packages completely removed.  It was 81.1% full.  NOW, it is  
only 28.2% full.  I am relieved and grateful.  Thanks again, Magic Banana!
