New maemo update available, but says not enough space
 
guys,

i can see a new maemo update available for my phone, but when i try to install it, it says "not enough space available". however, the file manager shows 17 gb available, and more than 1.5 gb available for applications. can anyone suggest how to sort this out?

Yes, and hordes of people have been, repeatedly, all day. Try searching the forum or just reading some of the existing threads about the upgrade.

This has been discussed many times in the PR1.1.1 thread, users shouldn't be adding the extras-testing/extras-devel repos if they don't know how to sort their problems out, anyways download rootsh, install it, open terminal, type root and:
Code:
mkdir /home/var
mkdir /home/var/cache
mkdir /home/var/cache/apt
mv /var/cache/apt/archives /home/var/cache/apt
ln -s /home/var/cache/apt/archives /var/cache/apt/archives
Also disable all repos other than the Nokia ones, ovi, and the maemo.org one.

1. Install and open Storage Usage.
2. Choose Scan Packages from the menu
3. Check what programs you've installed taken up much space, listed in red.
4. Open Application Manager and uninstall those horrid apps.

For example Abiword might use some space..

sorry to be posting again, but this is not working. and i don't have any packages installed from extras-devel or extras-testing.

thanks for your relatively polite tone!

but this is not helping either, have freed up more than 100 mb of space, but it still says "not enough memory" when i try to install the update.

same here, i have not installed any other repos as i only flashed my device days ago, but getting the same error message. i have 1.57Gb of application remaining so how is it i can't install a file of 16Mb.

Try to reboot and then open application manager and then update. Might work, might not.

Do you mean the update for the "Maemo" package? It is to be updated from the computer, that might be why it doesen't work. I can't update on the phone, it said I have to update by connecting it to the computer.

Re: New maemo update available, but says not enough space
 
i had the same problem, so i upgraded via
Code:
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
and rebooted the device, worked without any problems.

Re: New maemo update available, but says not enough space
 
go to xterm type root and paste in the following

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

this will perform a manual uprade just used it and i now have the recent update.

ps: i got this off maemo talk thread just can't remember the users name, so thanks to whoever it posted it.

can someone post how i can check my OS version using xterm please.

I love it that this phone has a shell terminal. It makes hacking so much more pleasant!:p

Re: New maemo update available, but says not enough space
 
Wierdest thing, I got an operation failed, and in a non-replicatable bugfix (this probably won't work for anybody else, ever), i performed the following steps:

(keep in mind that I got an operation failed and figured that it was time to attempt the apt-get method above, when terminal froze, i attempted to regain control of my device)

Opened an xterm (ctrl+shift+x) saw it was frozen, attempted to end the process (twice) attempted to shut off the device, and attempted to open a new terminal.

Immediately after that, the device rebooted into the upgrade screen.

This makes me believe that this isn't so much a space issue (as the apt-get method works) as something is messing with the upgrade kickoff by having the extra repos enabled.

Or use apt-get dist-upgrade, otherwise it won't upgrade between versions... :)
