Lately I have problems with free space on my /home partition on my laptop. The problem is that I have nothing else to delete. The only option would be to buy a additional USB hard disc (I find it cumbersome) or buy a new, bigger hard drive for my laptop and exchange it with my current one.
Today I’ve upgraded Ubuntu on my laptop to Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) Release Candidate. Everything went smoothly. Ubuntu downloaded all needed packages and upgraded system. I had no problem during startup nor during work with new Ubuntu. Thou when I tried to launch my Chromium browser I shut down immediatly after startup. I tried once again, this time lauching browser from Gnome Terminal.
I use Ubuntu as operating system on my development machine. I keep my system up-to-date and apply patches and upgrades to new releases as soon as they are available for download. After upgrading to Karmic Koala 9.10 I noticed, that all my development tools based on Eclipse (STS, RadRails, Aptana Studio) are experiencing same problem: buttons on most dialog boxes (wizards, properties windows etc.) could not be pushed any more using mouse. Of course keyboard shortcuts still worked.
