Ubuntu

Not Enough Free Disk Space (revisited, unfortunately)

Asked by steven riddle on 2015-03-28

a little over a month ago (2/22/15) i received help re this recurring issue by way of actionsparsnip and manfred hampl.
i had hoped there was some way i could resolve this issue should it rear its ugly head again but even if the answer to that was sent, it wasn't received; i.e., i didn't understand what i could do next time.

one suggestion, to use ubuntu-tweak and its "janitor" function, i didn't seek to employ being as the problem had been solved. now that it needs solving once again, i am unable to discover where i'd locate ubuntu-tweak.

while i value the solutions generated via launchpad and its wizards here, there doesn't appear to be much proactive user-education actually occurring. it's more like "enter these commands and tell us what you get" and then instructions that usually solve the problem and everyone's happy ... until next time and the process repeats. this is more along the lines of an observation than a gripe or vent.

that said, i will begin this second event by supplying the results of the commands suggested the last time this issue was addressed (question #262592) and perhaps once again my issue will be resolved, for which by the way i am (and we are) always quite grateful of:
