installing updates not enough space

[Glenn Owen]

Hi, I have installed Ubuntu and all is working Ok except when I try to add the suggested updates it is telling me I do not have enough free space. When I set it up I gave Ubuntu a 10GB partition but it does not seem to have worked. How can I add the suggested updates.
thanks Glenn

Well, you need to free some space or change the size of Ubuntu partition.

Try the following to get rid of cached debs and unused dependencies:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

then post the output of:

df -h

Open a terminal: Applications, Accessories, Terminal. It's best to paste commands you get on the forums to avoid typos. CTRL-C to copy outside a terminal (just like Windows), but inside a terminal you have to include "SHIFT", so CTRL-SHIFT-V to paste into a terminal. Even easier - a middle mouse click should paste it!

when I open the terminal and type sudo apt-get clean I get the following result

sudo: unable to resolve host
E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the download directory

any help would be great thanks

Close all open windows other then Terminal, and try again.
