Good morning all,
I have a laptop (HP Pavilion 15-au063nr) that was having an issue with Ubuntu 16.04 where the log files kept rapidly expanding and filling the hard drive. I did some research and found that the solution was to upgrade to the next version of Ubuntu - 18.04. I have tried this multiple times, as well as upgrading to 19.10, with no success. Every time I set the installation going it would freeze on formatting the hard drive. So I replaced the hard drive. Once or twice it got as far as "Almost finished copying files", but still froze and never finished installing. I have been able to install Windows, I have been able to install Debian, but I have not been able to install Mint. Does anybody have any ideas as to what the heck is going on with this? I have run hardware self diagnostics and everything seems to check out. As a side note, I have been able to get Ubuntu 16.04 installed, but it still gives the log file error and fills the hard drive up.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
