All my space is consumed...

[harishbayyavarapu]

Hi,

I have dual OS win 7 and ubuntu 9.10(20gb). Yesterday I had updated my system to 10.04 and all my place is consumed. I have only 1.4 gb left. I installed mono develop, chrome, mplayer, wine, crossover, crossovergame, microsoft office.

Can any one tell me where could be most of the space consumed other than home folder(documents, downloads, etc)..

Thanks

Have you cleared cache of Package Manager?
Execute this in Terminal

df -h
sudo apt-get clean all
df -h

Check if it free up a bit space.

Did you install Microsoft Office in Ubuntu? Post the output of df -h command here too.

Thank you very much... !
I was able to free up 5gb of space. This is the o/p of running df -h
df -h

I have never installed MS Office in Linux because Open Office has all its features and its best alternative of MS Office in Linux. Have you tried Open Office. Its Windows OS based version is available too.

Thank you very much for quick replies.

This is the output of my graphics card:
lspci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

Is there anyway so that I could have more free space. Does ubuntu take 9gb for installation ?

Yeah I have tried open office, its good but my school uses microsoft and the formatting part is completely different when I format in open office and look in microsoft and vice versa.

Execute this

less /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Does xorg.conf file exist? Post its contents, if any.

A fresh install of 10.4, fully updated doesn't take more than 2.5 to 3GB space. I am posting from 10.4 only and used space is 2.4GB. I haven't installed any new package except codecs for media formats and a few packages with very small footprints.
I can't help you in MS Office installation. Start a new thread for that.
