[Garthhh]

Asus 51 BB
amd a6
4g ram
1t HDD
alt install m3, upgraded to m4
KDE
no dual boot or other complications

clicked on the red !
the usual procedure
except I had MCC open somewhere else
closed both instances
updated again, I get an error which was reproduced when I tried to update from root terminal
the error

Code: Select all

KDE desktop environment broke, or just crashes during bootup
good programming brings me to login screen, even though I'm set to auto-login
switched to LXDE for now...

You need more space on the / filesystem to continue with the upgrade, as the message says. Seems you have less than 1MB left there.

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

df -m /
du -mx / | sort -rn | head -35

weird, I gave up on a dualboot with w8 as home on M3 wasn't big enough for the 200g of content & I ruined w8 trying to resize, so I reinstalled M3 using the entire HDD...

/var/log/cups is consuming half of your root partition.

Code: Select all

du -a /var/log/cups

will indicate which files are responsible.

I would just delete those files. (or move them out of the root partition so that you can examine them later.)

After you have updated your system, you should monitor those log files carefully with a view to determining why cups is creating huge log files.

I can find the files but can't seem to move or delete [using file manager]
the underlying problem
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=6967

anyway how do I make these files go away?

[jkerr82508]

Assuming that you want to move them to your home directory, as root in a terminal:

Code: Select all

mv /var/log/cups/* /home/username/folder

Replace "username" with your actual username and "folder" with the name of the (existing) folder to which you wish to move them.

If you just want to delete them, as root in a terminal:

Code: Select all

rm -f /var/log/cups/*

Thanks, back to normal KDE, update was able to be completed after a restart

ever since I upgraded to 4
I get 9 kblnkscrn's at start up
probably in kde somewhere, the tax on feature laden DE

Thanks again for the bit of code, I don't do enough cli to have any real retention of that kind of thinking...
