Hello everybody, I am having the same problem when I'm going to install Ubuntu 16.04. I want to install Ubuntu in my laptop which is an Asus x555u and has Windows 10(Windows came already installed in the laptop) I don't want to get rid off Windows, I want to install Ubuntu alongside it. When I am in the installation wizard appear a error message telling me that I don't have space on the disk.
[Image with error message 1 (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxNi9b3FMfkdRFlyaVZManE4SVk)]
[Image with error message 2 (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxNi9b3FMfkdM3VGSm05TE1zSTg)]

If you see the images are very similar the only difference is in the ubi-partman error code, I reviewed the /var/log/syslog file and the error is that I don't have space on the disk. After some research, some people has had this error but during the update process. I was reading that this error can happen when you hard drive is not in IDE mode, my hard drive is a SATA drive in AHCI mode and I can't change it.

I was following the recommendation that you advised to carlosestefano in this post and these are the outputs of the three commands:

Are you booting Ubuntu in UEFI? You need to do that and install Ubuntu UEFI as windows is UEFI. Mixing an MBR install with UEFI will make one system unbootable. Use the "Something Else" option to install.

Did you leave Windows fast start up on? That is always on hibernation and Linux cannot mount NTFS partition.
In addition it is generally better to use Windows own partitioning tools to shrink the Windows NTFS partition and reboot immediately so it can run chkdsk.
If it needs chkdsk or is hibernated the Linux NTFS driver cannot mount it or make any changes to it.

More details in link below in my signature.

Yes I turned off the windows fast start up option before the installation process, it is not the problem.

I don't know what it's happening with this installation or this laptop,jajaja , I changed the usb table partition scheme to GPT for avoid conflicts and used the Gparted for make a swap partition and a primary partition with ext4 format and I'm still having the same problem.

You say dialog before.
Have you booted in UEFI mode?
Are you seeing grub menu?
Shows install with screen shots. Both BIOS purple accessibility screen & UEFI black grub menu screen
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI

Does your system have nVidia and you are using nomodeset? Or is it booting with Intel video in control?
Some Skylake systems need a different boot parameter for Intel video.

Juan_Fiorenzano
June 11th, 2016, 08:18 PM
Yes I am booting in UEFI mode I can see the GRUP menu screen, I have a nVidia card but I think my primary card is the Intel video card, in the bios options doesn't appear anything about nvidia and when I am in Windows the active video card is the intel's except when I am running a game, all the games run in my nvidia video card. My processor it's a Skylake what are this special boot parameter you've been talking about? I don't understand what does my video card have to do with the problem of the space?

I thought maybe you were not getting correctly to the install options.

Does system boot into live mode ok?
You said you added partitions for Ubuntu, post this:
sudo parted -l

You should then be using the Something Else install option and choose partition(s) you created. Use change button, ext4 and / (root). Same if you created partition for /home. If you have swap already, it should just auto find & use it.

The system boot into live mode, but in the same way it send me the error message that I don't have space on the disk, but in this case I can ignore the message and continue with my work.

Is drive set for AHCI, not RAID nor IDE? Or some Intel SRT type things that interfere?
Also some drives get locked in UEFI/BIOS. But since you were able to add the partitions that should not be the issue.

Did you verify download was correct?

Ok, at last I could install Ubuntu, instead of type "c" in the boot menu I type "e" and write pci=nomsi before the "quite slash" option, and everything works, but after install I still having problems, now is another problem but I think that is for other thread, now when I select boot for Ubuntu this appear in my screen : screen image (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxNi9b3FMfkdY3J3UloyNkRoUmM) when this happens I have to reboot and when the system start is painfully slow and others error messages are shows.

OK it's late thought a couple words shoudn't hurt.

1) The NTFS partition wa *consistent* right?

2) Reading other threads with the same issue it appears adding the following option at boot did solve the 'no space' issue.

> I am trying to use the boot option pci=nomsi, but I don't know where I have to put this command, when the boot screen appear I type c and I write pci=nomsi in the command line

Press [F6] during boot so you can see additional options. Choose `nodmraid`. At this point you can also write whatever you want to test eg. `nomsi`. See the community BootOptions page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions) on Ubuntu.com.

If you needed pci=nomsi to install, you may need it all the time.
On first boot into your install you can add it they same way with e on grub menu and replace quiet splash.

If you do not get grub menu, then if UEFI install press escape key or if BIOS boot press and hold shift key from BIOS screen until grub menu appears.

If that entry is the correct one, then we can make it a permanent part of grub.

GRUB_CMD_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
(http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt)
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#A.2BAC8-etc.2BAC8-default.2BAC8-grub_.28file.29

GRUB_CMD_LINUX
Entries on this are added to the end of the 'linux' command (GRUB legacy's "kernel" ) for both normal and recovery modes. It is used to pass options to the kernel.

GRUB_CMD_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
This imports any entries to the end of the 'linux' (GRUB legacy's "kernel" ). The entries are appended to the end of the normal mode only.
o To view a black screen with boot processes displayed in text, remove "quiet splash". To see the grub splash image plus a condensed text output, use "splash".

I solved the problem finally, I had to modify the grup for always use pci=nomsi and after that I cleaned the logs, when I boot using pci=nomsi my logs files doesn't grow so alarmingly. The messages in the logs was the same that appeared in the terminal when I shutdown/restart the pc, with pci=nomsi all my problems with the space has gone. Thank you everyone for your help, especially to oldfred. This thread was solved :).
