Was setting up Postfix but didn't get too far, because Ubuntu returned an dependencies error.
Tried to fix this but I cant find the cause to the problem.

Your disk is full. failed to write (No space left on device) No apport report written because the error message indicates a disk full error

Download the gparted live CD and extend your system partition first! (resize another partition to make space for it.)

Then do a sudo apt-get autoremove then continue as before.

(If you add the output of sudo parted --list to your question I can give you a more detailed answer.)

  • And as you're a reputation 16 user: don't forget to click the grey check-mark under the "0" at the left of this text, therefore "accepting" the answer, which is better then saying "thank you" as your and my reputation will go up...

  • You're using LVM. Haven't tried that yet, so cannot help you further... If you want me to delete my answer, drop me a note as questions without answers attract more "hunters for unsolved questions" (like me)

    Cleared out my owncloud and set free space, it works somewhat, so ill call this a short term solution.
