I have installed the latest desktop version side by side with xp. Everything appears to be running fine so far, and and when i boot up ubuntu it automatically searched for the latest updates and listed them. The problem is when i go to install the updates it tells me there is not enough space. I have 2G of ram and assume this is not the problem, and plenty of hard drive space, although i did not move the slider bar any when i chose to install side by side. Everything else seems to be working fine with ubuntu for what i use it for.
I have 180GHD in which very little is used. everything in windows I have a backup, but no windows cd (nothing saved on ubuntu yet). First is there any way to uninstall and start over, second I would like to install ubuntu onto another computer with about same specs. But this time what do I have to do different so this does not happen again. Thanks
this is what i get.
