  Ran sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. Accepted the defaults to install/upgrade. The update system froze, laptop began heating up & fans came on constantly. Tried to close update manager - no luck. Rebooted machine and received this crash report.
  The error report mentions insufficient disk space - not sure where or what I can do about it. 

  Any suggestions?
