Elementary elementary OS Freya (64-bit) Built on "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS" File manager

Files 0.2.4

I want to create more disk space

Running command df-h gives output:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 1.9G 4.0K 1.9G 1% /dev tmpfs 390M 1.2M 389M 1% /run /dev/sda1 19G 18G 637M 97% / none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock none 2.0G 78M 1.9G 4% /run/shm none 100M 44K 100M 1% /run/user /dev/sdb1 823G 31G 751G 4% /home

I can't install any programmes as there is no space on /dev/sda1 - so I cannot install a programme with a user interface to view files.

So, the first disk is very small, and plan a is just to free up enough stuff on it to stop it moaning. Plan B would he to move some stuff over to the spacious disk, and link it in. But hopefully A will work!

I reckon there's a lot of unused kernel images in /boot, it seeks to get a known weakness with elementary that it doesn't tidy old ones up. I had a web page up that described how to remove them and then update the grub menu so it didn't offer them anymore. But the first command was giving a funny error. I'm following the suggestions on this page:

dpkg -l | fgrep linux-image- It will list a lot of kernel images, most of which you aren't actively using. They're all similarly named, differentiated by a numerical suffix e.g. ".151" To find out which one you are using when you boot up, run this:

uname -r

The result was an old kernal image: 3.13.0-44-generic

We are assuming that any other kernal images newer than this can go:

So starting with 3.13.0-45-generic

$ sudo su  # apt-get purge linux-image-3.13.0-45-generic

exit

I ran apt-get -f install but not sure if I should now run apt-get autoremove - I guess there will be a net gain of disk space that will accommodate the 13.5MB need for the new installations?
