[opensuse-factory] TW: Problem with disk space needed on installation
Hi, I'm currently upgrading my travel-Laptop, ASUS eeePC 901, from TW 201702* to the latest TW. Single root/home partition on ext4. It has only a tiny SSD in, and during upgrade it fails with the message, that ' the installation of package x...needs 189 MB on the / file system'. df -h shows 371 MB free space. Looks like enough space.....so whats the point? Any (hidden) files i should delete?

zypper clean can help if you have too much keep package there check also the number of kernel installed you have (especially kernel-source or kernel-devel) then digging in /var/lib /var/log to check anything suspect. Also with so less free space it could be a problem of free inodes -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Maybe it needs 189 MiB *additional* space? (Also, surprised you can still use this thing. I have an eeePC 900 and it’s way too slow, the display resolution is too low, the keyboard is hard to type on and its battery runtime is quite short… Not to mention it’s 32-bit and has no SSE2. I don’t use it anymore. Moved on to better hardware.)

That's not what it says.... Actually I cleaned /tmp and /var/tmp, a reboot (fingers crossed, worked) and installation went through. Now Rhee is 1.8G free space again

Well, I have it, and it serves the needs. So it's a matter of sustainability to not bin it as long as it works. For watching a movie on the plane, checking weather and writing travel diary and mails it is ok. Resolution on a netbook was already to low when I bought it. But it still feels more responsive than the ThinkPad x230 on W7 I have to use at work 32bit support may really become a problem, indeed. Let's see how long it lasts.

Is "package X" glibc-locale? If so, you are seeing an antique bug that plagues me routinely: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720150 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
