Low memory for installable items after flashing
Just formatted my n900, but for some reason the internal memory is already full(now left with only 1KB) anyone know why this is and how I can fix it? :confused:
This is rather urgent. I'm getting desparate.:mad: No way 2 gb just disappears!! Thanks!! :) |
Re: Low memory for installable items after flashing
Might be an corrupted file system or the like.
To debug, look for the output of those commands. Look out for /home or /opt or /dev/mmcblk0p2. There will be permission issues in the last command, but the do not harm a bit, because only the biggest folders are nessary to look at. Code:
mount You need rootsh installed for the following command Code:
sudo gainroot |

Re: Low memory for installable items after flashing
For newby, i would recommend to put all the output into your next post for maemo users to take a look at it. Lots of knowledge here.
Explanationof the commands: 'mount' gives the information about the partitions mounted to your system, 'df' shows the free space of the mounted partitions, 'du -kx / | sort -n | tail -n 20' sorts the 20 largest folders of the device to look for strange sizes, 'sudo gainroot' gives the right of 'root' user, 'sfdisk -l' prints out the partion table(s) of the device(s) of the N900 You are looking for references to /dev/mmcblk0p2, for /home and for /opt, aka. /home/opt. None of the commands do any harm, they help to fetch some information about the device. There might be more information necessary in the process to debug the issue... Btw. If you 'formatted' your N900, what exactly did you reference to? |

Re: Low memory for installable items after flashing
Looks like your internal memory card is broken. There is neither optfs, nor MyDocs partition mounted. Try to check, if the kernel recognizes the card with this command
Code:
lshal | grep volume May be you want to edit your post and make the mail cache folder name unreadable |
Re: Low memory for installable items after flashing
Run it and this is what I got. Don't really know what I'm looking at though. Considering that I'm a computer science student, it's embarassing. Any way I could start learning this stuff?
Code:
lshal|grep volume |
Re: Low memory for installable items after flashing
Is it a software or hardware problem?

Re: Low memory for installable items after flashing
This looks far better than the combination of fresh flash and no mounted partitions. Still it is too early to tell if software or hardware is borked.
But you need some kind of root enabling packages, be it rootsh, which i prefer, or sudser or openssh. You need to check the file systems and, may be, repair them, You need to mount partitions and check their content to evaluate the success of the flash of the firmware. Please uninstall some applications in Hildon Application Manager to have space to install any of the suggested root enabling packages. |
