Problem with Upgrade!

[linuxfluesterer]

My /home has 259GB free, so I have enough free space. The only thing I'm afraid of, is the resizing of /home that is a primary partition. The filesystem is ext4 so I don't think that I will face problems, but I have never tried resizing linux partitions.

I had the same topic to resize my /sda1 (primary) partition. I did it with SL-Life from USB stick and started the build-in KDE

Code: Select all

partitionmanager

(search with part, when click on 'Start-Button'). Here I could move sda2 and resize sda1.
You can do here, and I would recommend to enlarge /dev/sda1 at least to 40 GByte, maybe more.
Before, you could do a backup (I prefer rsync) of your /dev/sda1 to an external disk, if given.

Hello linuxfluesterer,
Thank you for your reply.
I finally made a symbolic link of /var/tmp/entropy to my /home/entropy directory and the upgrade is done.
A problem I have after upgrading to KDE 4.10, is that I've lost transparency of the Air theme and the windows preview of Icon-Only task manager. How can I retrieve my previous desktop behaviour?
Thank you in advance!

I too hit this problem today - disk full. But I knew it was not. Then I remembered I added the following entry in fstab:

vartmp /var/tmp tmpfs rw,mode=1777 0 0

The idea of this was to load /var/tmp into RAM to speed the system up. So I commented it out and rebooted and can now update.

So please check your fstab file.
