Maybe you should look what's in there? Disk Usage Analyzer might help. DUA shows -- 17.5GB in /usr -- 9 GB in /usr/lib -- dire with more than a GB are /ur/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, /ur/lib/modules, /ur/lib/i386_linux-gnu, and /ur/lib/firmware The biggest recognizable items are wine in the first one and...

Yes. I also deleted several programs.

The system still warns me that there is "low" space in the root partition (about 6.5 GB out of 93.1 GB).

Sigh! I will try some of the other suggestions.

GParted clearly shows it as quite full. Are you maybe saving your Timeshift snapshots in your root partition?

OK. Shifting Timeshift to the data partition has done nothing.

How much free space should a root partition ideally have?

I think so. Will check. I will shift that to the /home partition. Thanks.

For two days I keep getting messages that there is 0 space in the "root filesystem." I don't understand this. I have root in a partition separate from /home, but Gparted shows there is still unused space. (see graphic) Screenshot from 2023-03-27 12-24-36.png Not sure what the problem is no...

I realize it's Ubuntu Pro ***OR*** Linux Mint

But has anyone tried it?

cecilieaux

I fled from Ubuntu when Unity was introduced. Hated it!

Now ... years later ... they're offering Ubuntu Pro free?

Anyone try it? Is it worth it?

This is how to reorganize literally thousands (about 1.5 TB) of music, picture, and various other document files. I realize this is a matter of personal preference, but I would like to see how others do it and borrow what I feel fits my needs. First , for deduping I've downloaded all the available s...

I want to be able to use my home desktop and home laptop, which are not part of a LAN, and are never on at the same time (one user: me), so I can retrieve files on the browser using the same file:/// command. How do I change the username so the home folder names match? (I've searched but the answers...

Oh, wow! Yes. I was confusing the two. Thank you!

Is there any danger in giving the same hostname to my home desktop and home laptop, which are not part of a LAN, and are never on at the same time (one user, me), so I can retrieve files on the browser using the same file:/// command?

Do any of you recently get a lot of "security alerts" from Google and others saying something like "We noticed a recent login for your account ... Device on Linux"? I ONLY use Linux Mint, on my desktop and laptop. I have used them for at least 5 years exclusively. Suddenly (this ...

I feel if you are the only uniq user on both machines, having a different names on both machines shouldn't matter. Because for both the uid and gid should be 1000. What sort of problem do you face? Not really a *problem* but it worries me. Some file managers ask for user authorization to move or co...

Just copy using Nemo from Computer A to External Drive to Computer B. Occasionally, I use the Cloud, but I have small free subscriptions.

cecilieaux

I keep copying stuff from one computer to the other (no useful LAN due to Window$ in the house). When I use a portable drive UI find that the file owner (me) is on another computer with a slightly different name (I had the notion that it would be more secure). This makes use of the file more complic...

Simple question: how do I uninstall KDE Plasma on Vanessa, leaving just Cinnamon? Never mind. Found the answer on https://askubuntu.com/questions/727926/how-to-remove-kde-plasma-desktop , to wit: plasma-desktop is a metapackage: one that just points to others to install. I believe the way to remove...
