List of installed programs on Ubuntu
It seems you're facing limited storage on your Ubuntu system. The main partition is nearing capacity, with around 90 GB used out of a 1 TB drive. You have an external 1 TB SSD for additional storage, but accessing it requires navigating shared directories. Recently you added a 160 GB external drive formatted as ext4 to expand the Ubuntu partition. You're looking for ways to efficiently find large files or programs in the internal OS partition that are taking up space, beyond just checking Ubuntu's software list. If you're new to Linux, exploring file hierarchies and using tools like `du`, `find`, or `ls -l` can help locate large files. Let me know if you'd like guidance on those methods!
Have you noticed the disk utility that displays file usage in a pie chart? It's called Disk Usage Analyser and should be available in your menu system. If not, the command to start it is likely "baobab".
NCDU is a tool for checking your device's hardware and storage.
It seems the usual storage area is still working fine (70 GB available), but one virtual partition is full. The updates are repeatedly attempting to install on that space, which isn’t clear if it’s the right approach. I’m a bit confused about this process, but the warning says: “The update needs a total of 101MB free space on disk.” Is this the correct partition for updates?
Check the installation age, partition size, and kernel count. Let me know if you need help with cleanup or finding the right kernels.
I explored the available guides and discovered a helpful tutorial that consolidates multiple steps into a single command. By examining the disks, I located the /boot partition, which is relatively small at around 500MB. The installation started in April of this year, and I thought the most recent kernel version was 3.13. I was concerned the command might be stuck, but it completed successfully, achieving a clean partition with about 95% of the space now used.
