Ubuntu 10.04 Disk Partion Space problem
Hi fellow skunkers, I have a big problem with my Ubuntu 10.04 which I installed yesterday (its running fine n perfect), on a 49GB partition of my 160GB. My laptop HDD has 3 NTFS partitions I made with my W7. Problem is, I was installing packages this morning to update plug-ins n just downloading stuff. Midway, I was warned that I hv only 322MB of free space. My next download stopped when I got a rude shock from a pop-up window claiming I had 0bytes of free space. DiskAnalyser pops-up but offers little help. The df -h commnad shows I have used only 8.1% of the Filesystem "/" meaning I still got 45GB free on that drive. I hv rebooted n W7 works fine as well, the disk partition is 45GB free! What could be the issue? Is it because the partition is NTFS? What could also be taking up space? I need your 2cs on this. -- Regards, Greg -------- Life is not a rehearsal, you only live once!

Hi Greg, I am not a Linux guy, but let me ask: Did you install Ubuntu on an NTFS partition? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

Greg, When your start the laptop with the cd there is a section where it shows you the various partitions in your computer and how you want to install. Select advance and manually select the partion on which you want to install your Ubuntu. Regards Richard Gathogo. On Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 12:20 PM, Gregory Okoth <gregory.okoth@gmail.com>wrote:

You used wubi installer so basically u are installing on a windows partition. Install from the disk instead - boot up using ubuntu disk instead of the internal hdd. Then when the installation starts you will select the partition you want to install to. On Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 12:38 PM, Richard Gathogo <muraguri2005@gmail.com>wrote:

Helloz.... I have managed to install Ubuntu Netbook and its working fine. I hope I wont get any more hiccups to do with space. Of course I had to format the partition using ext4 and created a swap space for the same.....plus many other options presented at startup. However, I now want to setup Office 07, and for some funny reasons, when I enter the product key, I does not recognize it yewt its working on Windows. Is this a bug in Wine 1.2? any ideas??

@Bernard, I know, but I am just stuck with Ms Office!! Office is one of those apps that u cant just let go easily (the addict u into an anti-change being). If at all I dump office, I prefer using Lotus notes.....OpenOffice doesn't do the magic that I do with office, fast and intuitive.....nevertheless, am working on it On Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 10:33 AM, Bernard Mwagiru <bmwagiru@gmail.com>wrote:

For starters wine cannot handle most Ms Office installations due to the platform on which they are built. Crossover works well though its a commercial product. The other option is install virtualbox then install your favourite version of windows after which your Ms Office can be installed plus any other windows app you are hooked to.

@Bernard, I know, but I am just stuck with Ms Office!! Office is one of those apps that u cant just let go easily (the addict u into an anti-change being). If at all I dump office, I prefer using Lotus notes.....OpenOffice doesn't do the magic that I do with office, fast and intuitive.....nevertheless, am working on it

Helloz.... I have managed to install Ubuntu Netbook and its working fine. I hope I wont get any more hiccups to do with space. Of course I had to format the partition using ext4 and created a swap space for the same.....plus many other options presented at startup.
However, I now want to setup Office 07, and for some funny reasons, when I enter the product key, I does not recognize it yewt its working on Windows. Is this a bug in Wine 1.2? any ideas??

You used wubi installer so basically u are installing on a windows partition.
Install from the disk instead - boot up using ubuntu disk instead of the internal hdd.
Then when the installation starts you will select the partition you want to install to.

Yeah but why insist on MS Office when OO.o is such a better alternative (and free!)...I feel almost guilty stating here that it's my dad who introduced me to it sometime back when I was in campus :P

IMHO MS Office has Open Office beaten in every department. The only upside to Open Office is that it's free On Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 4:09 PM, Brian Ngure <brian@pixie.co.ke> wrote:

Hi Greg, Default file system for Ubuntu 10.04 is ext4 and I think it should have formatted your partition to this file system during installation. So I don't think it is an issue with the file system. Regards Richard Gathogo. On Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 11:45 AM, Gregory Okoth <gregory.okoth@gmail.com>wrote:
Hi fellow skunkers, I have a big problem with my Ubuntu 10.04 which I installed yesterday (its running fine n perfect), on a 49GB partition of my 160GB. My laptop HDD has 3 NTFS partitions I made with my W7.
Problem is, I was installing packages this morning to update plug-ins n just downloading stuff. Midway, I was warned that I hv only 322MB of free space. My next download stopped when I got a rude shock from a pop-up window claiming I had 0bytes of free space. DiskAnalyser pops-up but offers little help. The df -h commnad shows I have used only 8.1% of the Filesystem "/" meaning I still got 45GB free on that drive. I hv rebooted n W7 works fine as well, the disk partition is 45GB free!
What could be the issue? Is it because the partition is NTFS? What could also be taking up space? I need your 2cs on this.

@Richard, I was also wondering ... What could be the issue then? the Ubuntu image I used has a .exe file which I run and it started installation without giving me options for selecting file system or formatting the partition!!
