'Not enough free disk space' for updates

[rokytnji]

Resizing is done with livecd like Parted Magic Iso, Linux Lite 2.4 live.

You shrink the drive you wish to borrow the space from for boot. It cannot be on a extended partition however (the one you need to borrow space from.
Shrink it. When done. Resize the /boot to grab the extra space. Hit apply. Done.

Latest gparted live cd  if you need just a small iso for just partitioning work. I keep one on my cd rack.

Code:

df -h --total

will tell you where everything is and

Code:

sudo parted -l

should inform you of extended/logical partitions.

Code:

sudo parted -l
Model: ATA SAMSUNG HM321HI (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 320GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start   End    Size    Type      File system     Flags
1      1049kB  106MB  105MB   primary   ntfs            boot
2      106MB   123GB  122GB   primary   ntfs
3      123GB   320GB  198GB   extended
6      123GB   141GB  19.0GB  logical   ext4
5      141GB   316GB  174GB   logical   ext4
7      316GB   320GB  4193MB  logical   linux-swap(v1)

If my /boot partition is above extended. I have to borrow space from ntfs primary and shrink that one.
If my /boot partition is below extended. I have to borrow space from ext4  and borrow space for either one of those. One is my / root. The other is /home.
