Getting Low Disk Error Message using WUBI Installer

Can you give the output of:

df -h; uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2

Thanks

I'm running out of Space errors very frequently, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you give the output of:

df -h

Thanks

Wubi installs to a virtual disk - that resides on your ntfs partition. It is fixed in size and chosen when you install. I guess you chose 7GB (some of that went to the CD image and the swap file).

So anyway - it's only 7GB and it's full. You can:
1. Move data from /home to the ntfs host partition ( mounted under /host )
2. increase the size of the root.disk using this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1625371
3. or delete some stuff.

Here is the Output of df -k command...

manishsingh@ubuntu:~$ df -k

h is not k

You keep running:

df -k

when I am clearly asking for:

df -h

Thanks

Hi,

Apologies for the wrong output, here is the output of the command you mentioned above.

manishsingh@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/loop0 6.5G 5.9G 289M 96% /
none 1.8G 704K 1.8G 1% /dev
none 1.9G 392K 1.9G 1% /dev/shm
none 1.9G 100K 1.9G 1% /var/run
none 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /var/lock
/dev/sda5 79G 7.7G 71G 10% /host
/dev/sda7 98G 18G 81G 18% /media/Pics

Also i'm not able to execute that script wubi-resize_1.3b.sh below is the error i'm seeing.

manishsingh@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ sh wubi-resize_1.3b 20
sh: Can't open wubi-resize_1.3b

Reread the howto guide for instructions. You should be running it as
follows:
sudo bash wubi-resize_1.3b.sh 20

or for full instructions
bash wubi-resize_1.3b.sh --help

I also suggest you install bleachbit and run it with gksudo, it can clean masses of space. You should also run:

sudo apt-get clean

To clean out the apt cache.
