I seem to have worked myself into a perpetual problem.

My Ubuntu version is outdated, and even with some fixes, trying to install Gparted seems impossible (first couldn't find it, now it can but somehow still doesn't install) (looks like this issue: "Unable to locate package" while trying to install packages with APT)

So i need/want to update the OS, but the reason i needed to update, is because i was running out of disk space in the first place.

So i have no files to clear out. An update runs out of install space, and no way to extend my partition to actually allow for an update. Now what do i do? My Linux knowledge is rather limited i might add, so baby steps if you could.

  1. Download gparted live on another computer
  2. Burn it to a USB stick or DVD
  3. Boot your computer
  4. expand partitions
  5. Upgrade!
