I installed baobab 48.0.2 with sudo apt.

should I install ncdu 2.9.1 with uniget install ncdu? the apt version is older than that

du -hsc /var

sudo du -hsc /var returns: 10G /var, 10G total

du -hsc /var returns: du: cannot read directory '/var/lost+found': Permission denied, du: cannot read directory '/var/spool/cron/crontabs': Permission denied…

sudo updatedb

thanks!

holy crap you’re fast

android 4.3

I’m on xfce and didn’t find that option. All I see is assistive technologies, keyboard and mouse. Is that for gnome?

xfce, and thanks! it worked!

I don’t get it then. I installed debian 13 with xfce and now I’m using gnome??

thank you. I did what you suggested

xfce on an clevo notebook

still don’t follow: should I shrink instead of resize?

debian 13 needs more boot space, my boot partition is too small to complete the upgrade

please eli5

is gparted better than KDE partition manager? or gnome’s?

or offline partition shrinking, moving after a data backup if you have personal files you care about

what you are saying is: copy all your data to another drive, expand the boot partition shrinking the main storage drive and then copying back?

just to avoid misunderstandings, I assume the final >french accent lemmy wont show< in your code is lemmy code and you forgot to type the >french accent lemmy wont show< at the beginning of the command, right? because the one without the >french accent lemmy wont show< returns -bash: update-initramfs: command not found

incidentally, another member suggested I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure initramfs-tools

it returns:

update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.148.3) ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.12.41+deb13-amd64 zstd: error 70 : Write error : cannot write block : No space left on device E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 E: mkinitramfs failure zstd -q -9 -T0 70 update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-6.12.41+deb13-amd64 with 1. dpkg: error processing package initramfs-tools (--configure): installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: initramfs-tools

but this is something I don’t understand. I deleted 6 old kernels already. There are only 3 left.

After checking KDE Partition Manager for /boot and /boot/efi both have free space left:

/boot size: 488 MiB

/boot used: 396.26 MiB

/boot/efi size: 512 MiB

/boot/efi used: 10.52 MiB

sorry, typed that wrong, debian 12.11

I listed all installed kernels:

dpkg -l | grep linux-image | awk ‘{print$2}’

then removed several old kernels:

sudo apt remove --purge linux-image-XXX

then updated grub:

sudo update-grub2

thanks. I did all that. Is it safe to reboot? don’t want to ruin the machine
