terminal memory full

[rjungmann]

hi,

i hope someone can answer this :

i'm actually playing with my tablet and maemo mapper.

i just wanted to install the new version, and the programm installation manager tell that the terminal memory is full !

arg. i just don't know why, because i don't have much application
installed.

the just thing ii remember, is that whan i was downloading maps, my mmc was disconnected (i don't know why, i must reboot the unit). perhaps maps was downloaded in terminal memory...

how can manage this ? how can i free up some memory ?
should i fully re-install the OS erasing memory ?

thanks for help ?

Look inside /home/user/apps/maemo-mapper, delete some directory (level 0,1,2 :))

Where are you keeping your map files, they can add up quickly on the internal memory?

Yes, xterm or ssh server. Delete disvovery.avi or other media files from device.

Wow ... that is kind of an unfortunate catch-22.

Some things you can try:
- uninstall any apps (i.e. maemo-mapper) that you have installed in the hope that you can get enough room to install xterm to be able to access anything above /home/user/MyDocs (the sandbox that the file manager restricts you to :[ ) ... you might even disable the repos you don't need for this as the cache might be cleared for unused repos and might be enough to fit in xterm.

- someone might be nice enough to package you a tiny deb file that only installs a symbolic link from /home/user/MyDocs/rootfs to / ... this will then show up in the file manager.

- reflash the flash image as that will clear the user portion of the flash on the 770 itself.

Just make sure that when you install maemo-mapper the next time, tell the settings to store the maps on /media/mmc1/somedirectory
