I don't understand the question.
Your disk is full. You must either delete files or add more storage.

Try running


sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get autoremove

+1 to howefield.

Every time you update, files are saved on your disk which you don't need anymore after the updates, but in the long run fill up your hard disk.
The commands that howefield advises remove those files, and may be remarkably effective in getting your computer up and running again :)

The second one (autoremove) removes linux images and header files, except the last 2 versions, but unfortunately doesn't work in all Ubuntu's. I have a Lubuntu 14.04, on one of my computers, in which it doesn't work, and I have to wipe these images manually, which I do using Synaptic (Linux-image files and Linux-header files), taking care to keep the last two versions.
