Not enough space error

[maxlaw]

I just finished installing sabayon 8 64 bit and when I try install a game on wine it keeps saying there is not enough room to install it (150g free) I have no idea how to fix this I tried installing it in different locations but that did not work.

Code: Select all

$ df -h

?

Hi,
I understand better with clean columns. What root file did you try to change and why ?

[maxlaw]

I was trying to build my wine with updates to see if it helped it was a file in etc folder and when i went to save it said same thing " not enough space"

[mélodie]

I don't know what the problem is with your machine. Do you have a very large hard drive where all the space is not seen, or maybe do you have one of these hybrid hard drives ?

i have a laptop

In your laptop you are supposed to have either a hard drive or a ssh drive or a hybrid disk. Would you check if you have lshw installed and bring back the output of "lshw" as root ?

Please put it between code tags and keep the first and last prompt from the console in the paste. If you don't have it, try with a Live CD or Live USB. You should then have enough ram at least, to be able to install a tool able to give information about your hardware.

Hi,

Start a small live CD, (a Sabayon one... Lxde for instance), then open a console, type:

$ su
# //then you are root

then type this:

# equo update && equo install lshw
# lshw > lshw.txt

(do not type the signs '$' and '#' the '$' just means you have user permissions in the console, and the '#' you have got the root/admin priviledges in the console, after typing 'su' and hitting the 'Enter' button : su means "substitute user", and when you don't say which user, the default is root.

To sum up, you type 'su' when you need admin rights to perform administrative tasks.

Then paste the whole content of lshw.txt here on the forum, between code tags. It means your first click on the button "Code" of the editor, and inside the tags you paste your text.
Example:

Code: Select all

some text

Is there anything more which I could explain to you, or is it ok ?

/may I ask you if you installed your Sabayon yourself ? If yes, didn't you find it difficult, or has it been smooth ? (trying to remember the fright first time I installed a distro, a few years ago... )
