Free diskspace

Asked by GUI_Junkie

I have tried to upgrade Ubuntu 15.04 to 15.10 on a Virtual Machine. After a number of minutes, the upgrader reported that free space on the harddrive was lacking.

It should be trivial to check that, just after the user authorization request.

Hi!

I forgot to mention that I added space to the Virtual Machine, so I'm
upgrading at this moment.

The output shows 15.10 already.
