Public bug reported: System info : Description: Ubuntu 8.04.2 Release: 8.04
Summary : While trying to upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid, the upgrade process terminates, stating it needs 1.4 GiB free disk space; There is 1.1+GiB free according to gnome-system-monitor on / : luk...@lukasz-laptop:~$ df -h filesystem size used available %usage mount point /dev/sda6 5,1G 3,7G 1,2G 76% / varrun 252M 220K 251M 1% /var/run varlock 252M 0 252M 0% /var/lock udev 252M 64K 252M 1% /dev devshm 252M 212K 251M 1% /dev/shm lrm 252M 39M 213M 16% /lib/modules/2.6.24-22-generic/volatile /dev/sda1 2,5G 2,0G 540M 79% /media/hda1 /dev/sda2 36G 35G 1,5G 96% /media/hda2 /dev/sda5 31G 31G 512M 99% /media/hda5 (gnome-system-monitor says there is 1.4 G free space on /, but 1.2G usable - I know that there is some space reserved for root, that accounts for the difference, that's OK) Before I undertook a major cleansweep operation, I only had 600MiB free space on /, with the upgrade process then claiming it needs 937 (literally) MiB free space. The upgrade option is showing in update-manager because I have set the relevant option in Synaptic. The upgrade process either way terminates neatly with no damage done to the system. ------------------ It is this laptop : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerAspire3023 manufacturer's layout of disk mostly unchanged, only thing different is the /dev/sda5 has been resized down by 6GB to make space for Linux and swap :) Hence my partition layout is kinda dodgy, I admit : (sudo fdisk -l) Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xdeadbeef Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 319 2562336 12 Compaq diagnostics /dev/sda2 * 320 5014 37712587+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sda3 5015 9729 37873237+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 5015 8997 31993416 b W95 FAT32 /dev/sda6 8998 9666 5373711 83 Linux /dev/sda7 9667 9729 506016 82 Linux swap / Solaris Why I wanted to try to upgrade to Intrepid?; maybe I'm being adventurous; but there has been some changes to drivers since 2.6.24 (the drivers I am concerned for are b43 and em28xx-new - the latter from its creators' site, as it is out-of-tree), which I'd like to try out. Also my graphic card could benefit from the refreshed drivers (ATI Mobility Radeon X700 / RV410). ------------------ ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid -- upgrade hardy to intrepid claims 1.4G of disk space https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
