Background

I’ve installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my new laptop.

Problem

The /var partition was too small. The system complained that only 200 MB was left.

Solution

  1. Rebooted with my live USB.
  2. Opened GParted.
  3. Moved /tmp partition to the left and grew it to 6 GB.
  4. Grew /var partition to 16 GB
  5. Click
