UBUNTU_CODENAME=focalafter few hours system became very slow whithout reason. After that a message came that /var have no more space! That is funny because my /var is sda1 18,7G :doh:Code:lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 465,8G 0 disk
sda1 8:1 0 18,7G 0 part /var
sda2 8:2 0 1K 0 part
sda3 8:3 0 37,3G 0 part /
sda5 8:5 0 270,1G 0 part /home
sda6 8:6 0 139,7G 0 part /home/zkok, for some reason timeshift fulls /var and left it with 0bytes free space. I try to unistall timeshift as root from cl but without free space on /var system cant unistall it :D same thing happens if you try grafical from software manager. so to "fix" it open terminal Code:rm -rf /var/timeshift/* it will never remove folders in /var/timeshift , BUT it give for some seconds some free bytes to /var
that happens because it removes files from /var/timeshift faster than the app timeshift is writting :D
so after one min you can try to remove app from software manager as long as rm removes files from folders...
When you remove app with software manager, system go faster than ever and free space on /var is back.
I didnt fix the problem, I made it myway... I just report the problem if someone else have the same... cu
