check to see that your installation created a large enough partition size

update: as per posts below...yep, you're partitioning didn't go quite correctly...

please give us the output of these terminal commands:


sudo fdisk -l


df -h

when replying, please make sure to use the CODE tags for the terminal output to make it easier to read.

for example, mine says:


Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 20G 5.3G 14G 29% /
udev 1005M 316K 1005M 1% /dev
none 1005M 1.9M 1003M 1% /dev/shm
none 1005M 332K 1005M 1% /var/run
none 1005M 0 1005M 0% /var/lock
none 1005M 0 1005M 0% /lib/init/rw
/dev/sdb1 111G 29G 76G 28% /data
/dev/sda3 80G 23G 53G 31% /home

can any 1 help with the above problem plz

Your Ubuntu partition (/dev/sda7) is only 2.3gb, which is much too small. This is a bug in the installer, so it's not your fault. :) What you need to do is reboot with the Ubuntu Live CD, and use the Gparted partition editor to shrink one of the adjacent partitions and grow your Ubuntu partition (/dev/sda7). I recommend 10gb minimum if you can spare it. Good luck!
