easydebian /home problem
 

Long story short: I have 11mb free space on /home, because of the following-

1. Installed easydebian through app. manager
2. ran easy deb img install, attempted to decompress to MyDocs.
-operation came back with an error (i didn't read much into it).
3. after, I had 0 free space on my /home partition

troubleshooting:
1. searched /home for any "debian" files, and for files over 50mb- no luck/significant findings. size of /home is 4671mb, size of MyDocs is 4175mb (so actual home is 4671-4175=~500mb). did this through ssh.
2.tracker-processes --hard-reset, then a reboot just in case.
3. uninstalled easydebian, rebooted.

any help on specific files to look for/to delete (i don't want to do a reflash if i don't have to)?

Re: easydebian /home problem
 

is there an x-term command that'll list all files on /home, ordered by size?

Re: easydebian /home problem
 

Download a program called 'Storage Usage' from extras, although I do not know if you are able to install with 0b free.

The program should list your partitions. Click on the /home/ partition and it will display the files in it ordered by size.

Re: easydebian /home problem
 

du -h /home | sort -n

You can also redirect to file, but if you are out of space we would need to know the partition to save to.
Take care.

Do these screenshots make sense?

I'm still wondering why my /home is showing up as 90% full (uninstalled some apps).

have any insights?

Re: easydebian /home problem
 

Actually no. Only 163 MB free but the program shows only 353 MB of usage.

I think you have a file that is taking more space than it should. The kind that is ex. 100 MB in reality but taking 1.6 GB of usage.

I don't know how you can check that. Check each file using storage usage I guess and find the rogue one. If you find it check it's path in storage usage and then in xterm use the rm command.

Ex: rm /home/user/aaa.txt

Have you tried uninstalling easy debian?

Re: easydebian /home problem
 

stuff like openarena can take up several hundreds of megabytes all by itself in /home partition.

Re: easydebian /home problem
 

Thanks for checking it out. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something that was right in front of me.

I've uninstalled easydebian.

one last thing before i flash it all: do you know how to run storage usage from x-term?

Re: easydebian /home problem
 

No sorry. I wanted to know that myself. Healthcheck is crashing on startup and I wanted to run it using xterm to know the errors but I couldn't find how.

Reflashing everything now. eh, schtuff happens.
