The Ubuntu 14.04 x32 image doesn’t seem to be cloud optimized. There’s a lot of extra cruft that shouldn’t be there (possibly because of the GUI version of wireshark)
The following commands help to clean up the image. apt-get --purge remove font* libx11* x11-* landscape-common w3m ntfs-3g ppp libxcl* apt-get --purge autoremove
I hope DigitalOcean will come with better default images that don’t contain all that cruft.

Note that @digitalocean.jj05’s solution may remove nginx. For some reason nginx depends on a font* package and purging them after my upgrade from 12.04 removed nginx as well. I was using ppa:nginx/stable but AFAIK ppa’s are disabled during an upgrade anyway.
Hi!
That certainly doesn’t seem right. I’ll escalate this to one of our engineers to investigate.
Thanks!
