Re: Not Enough Memory in Target Location Error
 
It seems like i'm the village (forum) idiot here...
I have the same problem ("not enough memory in target location"), disabled the extras-devel and extras-testing catalogues but I still get the same problem... I also switched it off and on a couple of times but nothing... I read some of the posts here in this thread and i can't understand anything that is too "techy" for me. :)
I know very little of this gem of a mobile phone and can't seem to be able enough to update it. Can anyone help me and give me a simplistic step by step?
thanks in advance guys!

install rootsh if not already done

open xterminal
type root then paste this in

apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

hit return and away it goes

this will perform the update and bypass that nasty memory error i got this a user called chuchu and its works

you search for it under downloads on this site then install to your device

after the update reboot your device, make sure you backup your data first just to be cautious

after i install rootsh, open xterminal, and type root, i can't paste all these:
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
But one each time because whenever i press "enter" it starts doing stuff...
Anyway when i wrote all of them once the update didn't happen, and when i tried to update again it said the same: "not enough memory...etc" ...:(

Did it give any errors when you ran them? And did you close App Manager down before running them?

I didn't notice anything while it was running, and yes I stupidly left the app manager open... So should I do it again?
And if yes, after i type root do i press enter/space before typing the rest?

edit: I press enter, obviously....

Yes, go ahead and run it again. The "update" step should download the repository catalogues, and the "upgrade" step should offer a list of packages to install/update.
