After installation system gives low disk space

Use System Tools -> Disk Usage Analyser, and find the one which is occupying more space.

Use the below command to see the size of each file under the directory /var/log.

du -s --si /var/log/*


if you see the file has more than 10 MB , please remove that file and restart the system.

If the problem happens because the log files are getting filled up, remove the rsyslog service by adding a "-" symbol infront of the rsyslog in /etc/init.d. Remove all the log files from /var/log. Restart the system and check the disk space.
