I'm duplicating this bug to bug 876146 , where problems that can make an unusable system after an upgrade are being dealt with. I agree that that user should be warned if there is less than some given space (less than 1 GiB?) of space in the root system when an upgrade to a new release is attempted. Ubuntu automatically warns when there is 1 GiB in the root partition, but it may be too late to stop the upgrade when the automatic warning arrives. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 876146 Upgrading Ubuntu is risky (unusable or unbootable PC). What can be done to safeguard data, revert failed upgrades and overall reduce the risks? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/613174 Title: do-release-upgrade seems not to check if there is enough HD space for the upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/613174/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
