Question #78441 on Ubuntu changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

Lars Friedrichs proposed the following answer:
Ok, this looks normal - and sadly the message is true: you don't have enough free space. Ubuntu standard installs nowerdays are full blown operating environments, not just a base operating system install. 
'/' which is your base file system ist said to be 3.4 Gb and 3.1 Gb are already in use which is a usual value on a fresh desktop install. 

To look at your hard disks size you could try pasting the result of this
command:

sudo fdisk -l

It will read the partition table on all hard disks connected. This will
show us if there is an error with your installation.
