You can see the history of upgrading in Synaptic Manager. Go System-->Administration-->Synaptic Manager and find it under File-->History.

There you can see by dates what and when was installed on your system. Then in the same Synaptic uninstall search them by names, right-click on an item and choose "Mark for (complete) removal". If it asks to mark automatically additional packages for removing agree with"yes". Then press Apply on the main menu of Synaptic.

And finally run in terminal

sudo apt-get autoclean
.

Hope this procedures will get you back to the previous status and free some space.

After that may be it's good to tell the system not to upgrade. For this purpose in the same Synaptic go Settings-->Repositories, click on tab "Updates" and there under "Release upgrades" choose "Never".

After all this restart and hope the system will be running and stable ;-)

Can you help with this problem?
