Ubuntu
gparted package

not enough mem after installing to allow upgrades

Asked by joseph

Binary package hint: nautilus

I have just installed ubutu9.04 on a 300gb drive allowing the installation to configure the drive using all of the drive. the partition is as follows: /dev/sda6 type ext3 total gb after installing it only left 41.7mib, next is /dev/sda1 /media/disk type ext3 total 289.6gb , I might add that this was a installation over a previous copy of Ubuntu 9.04, i do not understand why it formatts such a small /sda6 thus not allowing any meaningful upgrades, i may also add that i am quite new to linux.

Hi :)

This link might help
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal#Starting%20a%20Terminal
then type in

sudo fdisk -l

where " -l" is a lower-case " -L" and the sudo command will ask for your normal user password, not your SuperUser/Root one and wont give you any stars as you type. Just copy & paste the output from that into here and we should be able to help

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
