<p>I doubt encryption has anything to do with "upgrade space" - I
would make sure to run 'apt autoremove' first and make sure all
your old kernels are cleared out of /boot - that's the likely
culprit. You might need to do this manually if something got hosed
... Also, 'apt install ncdu' and then run 'ncdu' in your root
directory. This will give you a clear n-curses based look from the
command line of what your offending/large sized directories are.
Best luck palmolive.<br>

<div style="font-size:large">NMGLUGers & Mike, I do not
encrypt as that does make it difficult for changes to a
partition. You can wait for other replies, but I will
venture a solution. In my case I pulled a spare hard drive
out of the closet and just did a fresh install after
making the swap. No data is lost, but for you getting your
files back or transferred will be an issue. A
non-encrypted backup to external media and fresh install
would work, too. Or, flush the apt cache - look this up on
the net or in 'man apt' to get an idea of how to free up
space. AND, you might wait till April and get the next LTS
from Ubuntu, or look at Debian 11 as an alternate. <br>

<div style="font-size:large">Do hope to see you tonight, we
can talk about upgrade options. Thank you, Ted P<br>

<p>Ted - thanks for keeping the GLUG going!</p>
<p>It has been a while since I have reached out but the
time has come. <br>
</p>
<p>Every time I try to update my ubuntu 18.04 machine it
gives an error that not enough space to complete
updates. Based on the information I could find on the
internet it seems like the partition is too small but
I have no idea how to fix this. Based on my reading,
I think this is complicated by the fact I turned on
encryption. It looks like upgrading to 20.04 might
help but I think the partition still needs to be
enlarged and I am not sure if that is an option during
the upgrade.</p>
<p>At any rate, I am hoping someone has some
experience/advice to help me sort this out.</p>
<p>Thanks for any assistance. I will try to drop into
meeting tonight.</p>
<p>Mike<br>

<div style="font-size:large">NMGLUGers, I am amusing
myself with an Optiplex 790, from about 2012. It's
the small size, 4"x12"x14". It was rehabbed with a
poor W-10 install, but I have replace that with
Debian Bullseye (11). I have had a few problems
with the integrated Intel graphics, It is a Core
i5 with 2nd generation integrated gpu. <br>

<div style="font-size:large">Kernel 5.10.0-11-amd64
did not work with my 27" monitor, but reverting to
5.10.0-8-amd64 seemed to fix the problem. Now as a
discard, there may be physical damage to the unit
- some usb ports seem dead or iffy. I did find it
odd that sometimes I get full resolution and
sometimes not. I am hope to keep working on this
unit as the size is good and it has a slim dvd
optical drive that can be useful.</div>
