Kubuntu says no disk space available, although there is lots of space
0
I have a 60 GB partition where Kubuntu 18.04.1 is installed. Yesterday when I tried to upgrade to 18.10, I was told that there wasn't sufficient disk space, although I am certainly sure there is.
df -h shows:
udev 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 389M 6.3M 383M 2% /run
/dev/sda7 65G 64G 1G 98% /
tmpfs 1.9G 38M 1.9G 2% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock
tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/loop0 90M 90M 0 100% /snap/core/6130

tmpfs 389M 0 389M 0% /run/user/119

Your disk is probably divided into two or more partitions, and the OS is complaining that one of these partitions is full. The command you used will not show this, butdf -hwill...

You have exactly 1GB of space, by the way, my guess is you need more than 1GB of disk space here./dev/sda7 65G 64G 1G 98% /is the relevant line
