[QUOTE=Confuzzed Otto;39599618]Whenever I start my computer and boot into Ubuntu I get an error saying I have ~300mb space left. Though, my partition where I installed Ubuntu is 150gb big. Anyone happen to know a fix?[/QUOTE]
How many separate partitions do you have
sda1, sda2, sda5,sda6.
sda1 is by it self, but sda2 is extended with sda5 and 6, 6 is linux swap and the rest ntfs.

I'd upload a screenshot but it doesn't let me save, probably because of the space.
So sda1 NTFS, sda5 NTFS, sda6 swap?
I find it hard to believe this would be the case
I can't make a screenshot, since it does not let me for some reason, but I'll do it on my phone.

Try clicking on "/dev/sda" in the top right corner of gparted and select /dev/sdb?

There is only sda.

But you have no / (root) partition?
[editline]15th February 2013[/editline]
Wait, I just had the weirdest thought
Are you booting Ubuntu off an external media?
[editline]15th February 2013[/editline]
Like a CD

No, it is installed.

Then where the fuck is / ?
Furthermore where the fuck is sda3 and sda4?
I have no idea.
Extended partitions start at 5

type "mount" into the terminal, and post the output here.
I am fucking curious, where the / mountpoint is.

[editline]15th February 2013[/editline]
And how?!
maybe its wubi?
oh... makes sense.
I never used wubi, so I don't know :v:
Enough chatter, how do I fix this?

Uninstall Ubuntu and Reinstall ubuntu without using wubi, because wubi is a piece of shit.
Make a bootable CD/USB Stick, and boot from it. Then just follow the setup.

I know the had good intentions with wubi... but I find it had to believe that there was someone who thought that putting a ubuntu partition inside a ntfs partition and doing some weird mapping to get it to even work was a good idea.

Its hard to believe that Canonical thought Wubi was a good idea.
People generally have a bad experience, when using Wubi.
I'm missing something. Boot or something, when extracting the iso file.
[editline]15th February 2013[/editline]
And putting on usb and shit
The usual way to install linux is the same way, like you would install Windows.
You burn the ISO to a CD/DVD, or install it onto an USB Stick.
Then you boot into the CD/USB Stick. (You may need to change some boot priorities in bios)
After you boot into the CD/USB, the setup appears, and you can install or test ubuntu.

UNetbootin works fine for almost anything.
[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;39601429]UNetbootin works fine for almost anything.[/QUOTE]
This. Unless you've already got a Linux system ready, just smack your system on a USB with unetbootin, it'll work fine 99% of the time.
If you DO have a Linux system, I can highly recommend dd'ing the system onto the USB.
