Hello all,
On my Dell Inspiron laptop I'm trying to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.10. Until now I had 16.04 with upgrades since 14.04, as far as I remember. The system was behaving very slow and had a lot of troubles regarding Nvidia + Intel Optimus. I have also installed Windows 8, but used just as safe side.
I've installed Ubuntu from USB for some time but until now didn't received this kind of error:

273632

My configuration looks like this:
273633

Does anybody knows how can I solve this?
Thanks.

[EDIT] just for reference I write here the error:
"Your /var partition has less than x of free space available, which leads to problems using applications and installing updates. Please free some space."

It's unclear, are you in the process of installing Ubuntu 16.10, or is it already installed? The pictures are too small to see details.
