Hi, @Vinamra and welcome to the Ubuntu MATE Community!

Vinamra,

These steps were not intended for your usecase.

For starters, according to the hardware info you submitted, you have a completely different computer and a totally different problem. The result is, therefore, not really a surprise.

This often translates as "disk-full-error"

Try make some more free space on the root partition of your harddrive.
No guarantees but it might just work

So we know exactly what hardware is being looked at, can you provide the report from:

inxi -G

Make that

inxi -F

i have a hunch we're going to need it :wink:

Thanks, but there is one slight problem.

This table is mangled beyond recogition.
I'm afraid i'm not willing to start to decypher that.

If you want to share output, just copy/paste from terminal directly into a message, preferrable marked with the </> tag.

But nevermind.
run from a terminal:

inxi -F

and copy/paste the output in a message here

to everyone here who uses Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.10 LTS. Do not use the LTS versions of Ubuntu, they are not yet stable enough and often lead to system problems in everyday use.

Stay with Ubuntu 24.04 or Ubuntu 24.10 and do not upgrade.

I hate to be the one to point out the obvious, but UM 24.04 is by definition, an LTS version, and only the first release in that release family.

Don't know how anyone would even begin to think otherwise.

So to advise staying with UM 24.04 vs UM 24.04 LTS seems, to me at least, a statement that makes no sense at all! :slight_smile:
