Ubuntu :: Sda1 Full, Cleanup Commands Not Working
Oct 25, 2010
I have had the same problem of /dev/sda1 becoming full and have been able to fix it with the commands:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
But this time I am still unable to free significant space. Here is the output of various commands.
df -h
/dev/sda1 5.6G 5.4G 0 100% /
varrun 498M 108K 498M 1% /var/run
varlock 498M 0 498M 0% /var/lock
udev 498M 76K 498M 1% /dev

I'm currently running Testing/Sid on my machine with Fluxbox as my window manager.Yesterday I noticed that I was not getting full output from commands using lxterminal.First off I tried another terminal,which was the xfce4-terminal.The result being exactly the same,missing output.I have also tried re-generating my xorg.conf,and yes you guessed it no change.Getting desperate I also tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup,still missing output from lxterminal.So to sum up why do I get the full output with xterm but not lxterminal which I have been using previously for some time.

I've been getting error messages indicating my disk might be full, but I don't really think it is. It is so bad that I could not log on via Gnome, but fortunately I was able SSH into my box. Once in, however, I can't even create a directory!

I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop. After installing many apps and finding I didn't need some, I did some cleanup. I must've cleaned too much because now Ubuntu won't boot. On boot, I see the Ubuntu logo with the five dots under it. The dots change color as if something is in progress, but it won''t get beyond that. I am relatively new to Ubuntu and I want to stay with it because it's an excellent system. I have worked extensively with Unix in the past but not with a GUI front-end.

My previous experience with Ubuntu desktop (which isn't much) while in the terminal the up key allowed me to see previously entered commands, but I have freshly installed Ubuntu Server Edition and the up key is not allowing me to do so, Is there a way to get this working?

I followed this thread:[URL]...When I get to this part:sudo genprof firefox it does not work in the terminal. Is this still supported for Ubuntu 11?
Also, I installed the profiles. Is something supposed to happen now or do I need to configure them?
sudo apt-get install apparmor-profiles

A Microsoft anti virus program (Security Essentials) cleaned out a bunch of problems in Windows XP and now I don't have the double boot option any more. What do I change to get Ubuntu option back? OH, I also had to do a checkpoint restore prior to that but it was after I had installed Ubunto (I think). Which leads me to ask....how do I identify the Ubuntu disk space I allocated at install time? I can't seem to find it.

i installed many security programs as a switching from windows guy and decided to get rid of them last night. I uninstalledgufw, clamav(and all based packages), firestarterusing synapticbefore i rebooted the system the internet was well and working. but after i rebooted i had no internet access;firefox couldn't retrieve, update manager and apt-get couldn't connect.the computer knows it's connected to the router i see the connection established sign but I can't even connect to the router by typing "192.168.2.1".the computer can ping itself(127.0.0.1) but can't ping itself in the network (the dhcp address is 192.168.2.3) and replies "operation denied" or something like that.I rebooted using live-cd and connected with no problems; the my internet connection is fineany thoughts will be appreciated P.S.: I did a fast check on the forums and couldn't find anything related; i didn't check thoroughly though.

Have Ubuntu & it was working well, but has become slow, 'greys out' on me regularly - eg. pic loses colour & nothing will respond for a few or more seconds. Also 'Ubuntu Software Centre' & "Synaptic' thingy come up with errors, saying can't install or uninstall progs. Although it seems they may do it OK despite saying they can't. Have Computer Janitor installed, but this is no longer working at all. So... is there a program or such that I can use to test/clean out the system?? For that matter, is there a program for testing hardware, as I'm not sure if it's an indication of unhealthy hard drive or such?

Is there an alternate tar package for Ubuntu that supports sockets and such? I know there is in Slackware, which I use when I'm doing stuff on Slackware.

I have installed ubuntu 11.04 just yesterday and have installed the necessary nvidia graphic drivers too. But when I maximize any application(be it chrome, firefox, vlc, media player), the whole screen becomes white and when I escape from it to make it of small window, it again runs normally. Sometimes it work fine, but most of the times it is like what I told above. Please tell me some solution or I will have to go back to windows.

I've got an annoying problem that 'man' and some other commands do not auto-complete (via TAB). e.g. typing: man rsyn (TAB, TAB, TAB, etc) will not auto-complete to 'man rsync' however, if i 'sudo -s' & then try the above, 'man' auto-completes everytime. (Directories always auto-complete successfully) My ~/.bashrc contains:
Code:
# enable bash completion in interactive shells
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then
. /etc/bash_completion
[code]....

Does Ubuntu have any tool similar to Windows defrag or disk cleanup that cleans up your hard disk and clears up some space?

I have Fedora 2.6.29. When Im trying to laod a kernel module by using modprobe, its throwing an error message 'Module not found'. Also, when I use 'lssci' command to see the list of SCSI devices, this also doesn't work, and throws an error 'Command not found'.
However, I have used insmod to load my module and I am able to see its entry in /proc/scsi/scsi file, but why 'modprobe' and 'lssci' are not working. Is there any way to resolve this problem?

I am trying to get F10 installed on L2 so that I can use the system the same way that I have been using L1 with F8. Specifically, I am using unison (with ssh) to crossload files between the desktop and the laptop. Unison works just fine when executed on the desktop crossloading to the F8 Laptop1. But when trying to do the same on L2, it hangs while trying to contact the server.Attempting to diagnose the problem has led me to ssh.I can use ssh to login to any of my systems from the desktop. E.g.,ssh delta
but attempting to execute a command via ssh simply hangs. E.g.,ssh delta "echo $PATH"
Both ssh login and ssh remote execution work fine when done to the F8 laptop 1.
I have installed tcsh on all systems and my login shell is csh (i.e., tcsh) on all machines.I have spent the better part of the last two days trying to find something but have failed. As far as I can tell, both L1 and L2 are configured identically:
firewall disabled
selinux disabled
and while I have not done a character-by-character comparison of the ssh and sshd configuration files, they appear (visually) to be the same, as shipped with the Fedora distribution.
I need some pointers on where to look for problems, etc.

I am in a situation where I am stuck with a LVM cleanup process. Although I know a lot about AIX LVM , but this is first time I am working with Linux LVM2. Problem is that I created two RAID arrays on storage, which appeared as mpath0 & mpath1 devices (multipath) on RHEL. I created logical volumes and volume groups and every thing was fine till I decided to clean the storage arrays and ran following script:
#!/bin/sh
cat /scripts/numbers | while read numbers
do
lvremove -f /dev/vg$numbers/lv_vg$numbers
vgremove -f vg$numbers
pvremove -f /dev/mapper/mpath$numbersp1
done
Please note that numbers was a file in same directory, having numbers 1 and 2 in separate line. Scripts worked well and i was able to delete definitions properly (however I now think I missed one parted command to remove the partition definition from mpath device. When I created three new arrays, I got devices from mpath2 to mpath5 on linux and then I created vg0 to vg2. By mistake, I ran above script again for cleanup purpose and now I got following error message
Cant remove physical volume /dev/mapper/mpath2p1 of volume group vg0 without ff[/B]
Now after doing mind search, I now realize that I have messed up (particularly because mpath devices did not map in sequence to vg devices and mapping was like mpath2 --- to ---- vg0 and onwards). Now how I can cleanup the lvm definitions? should i go for pvremove -ff flag or investigate further? I am not concerned about data, I just want to cleanup these pv/vg/lv/mpath definations so that lvm can be cleaned up properly and I can start over with new raid arrays from storage?

I have a problem that is probably simple, but have not yet found the answer on any forums or by Googling. First my system specs:Tyan 2610 motherboard w/ 2 x PIII 9334 gig PC133 SDRAM
1 x 5 gig hd (system)4 x 500 gig hds w/ 3Ware 7500 controller set to RAID 5, (1.5 TB) mounted as /homeCentOS 5.3 running my smb and nfs mountsMy problem is that I have run out of space on my / (root) file system, (the 5 gig). Since I am planing to rebuild my file server with larger hard drives, (2 x's 60 gig SATA's set to RAID 1, 6 x's 1.5 TB at RAID 5), within the next 2 months, I would like to try to clean out any unneeded crap rather than adding a hard drive and expanding my root file system. I have done the following:
Removed old unused kernels
cleaned up /var/log/
cleaned up /tmp
[code]....

I recently upgraded two servers to F10 from F9 and one of them is having an issue where package-cleanup is showing 13 packages which are incorrectly orphaned (no longer in the repo). Has anyone seen this before and know how to resolve this? Is it simply because the packages are listed in the repo as "fc10" vs "fc9"?
[root@athena ~]# package-cleanup --orphans

Now that the xorg.conf file seems to be a thing of the past, where do I put my serverlayout commands etc in order to get the serial touchscreen working? It responds to touchcal but doesn't work in normal use, so I presume it just needs X to be forced into loading it at startup.

Usually if I want to do a fresh install I just wipe the disk, but this time I really want to keep my home partition and overcome a libwnck bug that can only be beaten with a fresh installation.
So I need to completely replace 10.04 on partition 1 (root) and link it to partition 2 (home). How do I do this?

I turned on my laptop today and noticed a load of unfamiliar startup text so I knew something was wrong. Now whenever I startup my laptop, GRUB loads fine but when I try to start Ubuntu it says the following:
Quote:
mount : mounting /dev on /root/dev failed : No such file or directory
mount : mounting /sys on /root/sys failed : No such file or directory
mount : mounting /proc on /root/proc failed : No such file or directory
[code]....
so all I'm left with is this BusyBox command prompt. I'm on a live Ubuntu CD right now and if I try to mount /dev/sda1 either in the terminal (with the mount command) or with the GUI it just gets stuck.
Quote:
This will provide you with a list of your drives and partitions, you need to pick the one that your root file system is installed to, it will be something like /dev/sda1 but in my case I can't even mount /dev/sda1. When I run sudo fdisk -l heres what I get
Quote:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
[code]...
thats weird because I rebooted with a live Ubuntu CD and didn't even try to mount /dev/sda1 this time. The instructions were to then try to mount the drive from the GUI so heres what happens when I do that: it attempted to mount it for about a minute then gave me this error message When I tried again heres the error it gave me The problem seems to be that /dev/sda1 can't be mounted for some reason.
I don't know what that error message means and I don't know what else I can do to further diagnose /dev/sda1 and find out why it can't be mounted. Ordinarily I'd just reinstall Ubuntu but I have a couple of lab reports that I had saved on that partition so I'm in trouble if I can't figure out how to access the partition.
EDIT: At the end of that other thread someone recommends to use testdisk to recover the data from the partition. All I really need to do is get those lab reports back but I had them saved inside a Windows 7 guest on Virtual Box. Will this complicate matters a lot for me?
UPDATE: I tried to reinstall Ubuntu and it wouldn't work. Seems this is a bigger problem than I suspected. Does this mean my harddrive is corrupted? I can still use the Windows 7 partition but I take it that the Ubuntu installer not working is a bad sign.
