Re: application memory not enough space
 
As the error say it's the "application install memory" (/home/opt) which is low... You have 162.2MB available... How much space does the app need (check under details). Which application is this...? If it is indeed *any* app, that's weird since most apps should fit fine, given the available space You have...

Re: application memory not enough space
 
If you are connected to USB, disconnect that and retry.
Else could be related to this bug

yeah it certainly does
ok so i'll do a reflash but i'll flash the emmc this time see how it goes

but 1 thing i would like to know is whats the difference between just doing
1.normal firmware flash(no emmc)
2.doing an emmc flash aswell
is it just a complete wipe?
thanks

Yes, basically... The eMMC stores everything but the rootfs. So flashing both is basically a reset... ;)

Remember when You flash the firmware that You must NOT reboot before flashing the eMMC (don't use -R on the firmware flash command). When flashing the eMMC You can use the -R flag so it reboots when done... ;)

Instructions here -> https://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware

Basically what You do is this ->

did reflashing help solve this problem?

Re: application memory not enough space
 
Hello, I have problem installing application even if it this small application like 50 kB or so. I get the following message: “Nor enough space in application install memory. Uninstall some applications to free enough space for this application.”

When I go to memory I can read following:
Nokia n900
13.12 GB available
Memory for installable applications
103.9 MB available

I searched the forum a little and found this script (http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Tanner#Sa...pace_on_rootfs) but it didnīt help. Can someone please give me any suggestions what to do? Thanks in advance and best regards to you all

Here is the wki about repartitioning http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash
If you need assistance please post the output of
Code:
df
mount
du -kx /home | sort -n | tail -n 20
sudo gainroot
sfdisk -l
The last two lines only work, if the rootsh package is installed.

miroslav_s 2012-02-07 13:54
Re: application memory not enough space
 
Thanks Michaaa62. Will have to read all the text carefully on that website that you gave me before I try anything. Also, I did the command in X terminal as you wrote in your post but I donīt know how to copy the text from X terminal and show it to you here. Ctrl C does not work in X terminal I guess. Can you give me instruction how to copy the result from X terminal so that I can show you what the output is after doing that command that you said I should do. Thanks michaaa62

Re: application memory not enough space
 
Redirect the output into a file and attach this file
Code:
df > /home/user/MyDocs/debug.txt
mount >>  /home/user/MyDocs/debug.txt
du -kx /home | sort -n | tail -n 20 >>  /home/user/MyDocs/debug.txt
sudo gainroot >>  /home/user/MyDocs/debug.txt
sfdisk -l >> /home/user/MyDocs/debug.txt
There will be on the screen, it is all in the file

Hi again michaaa62, I attached the result from X terminal as you can see. Hope this will give you the info regarding my problem. Also I noticed some other problem today with my n900. I received mail and when I tried to delete it it first shows me that it is deleted but then when I re-enter again ín my inbox the mail is still there. Also I get the message on the screen saying that my memory is full and I have to free some space. And just a few minutes ago I got a notification that there is an update on one app that I have donwloaded before in my phone but canīt install it because of low space and when I click on ignore button (for not wanting to update the app) the little green notification button doesnīt disappear.My phone is really sick need medical atention badly!
Michaaa62 thanks for helping me

michaaa62 2012-02-07 17:39
Re: application memory not enough space
 
Right the optfs is filled to capacity :( You must delete some files or folders to get some space back before proceed with repartitioning.
But i miss the output of
Code:
du -kx /home | sort -n | tail -n 50 >>  /home/user/MyDocs/debug.txt
in the file you posted.

Hi michaaa62,
just read your post. Is there any app that I can install right now and use to clean all those files that I am not using, for example I found several files in my phone when I use Tunnelier and can go through my phone. Since I donīt know if some files are used with other apps or not I thought if there was some app that helps you clean up your phone if you know what I mean. You mentioned in your post that optfs is filled to capacity and that I must delete some files or folders. Whatīs in optfs? What I mean is what is the phone storing there?
Also I did that last command in X terminal, the one you said that is missing and Iīm gonna attach the file for you to see. Hope I did it right this time.
I donīt know, perhaps the easiest way for me would be just to erase everything from the phone and start all over again. This is all making me confused.

Re: application memory not enough space
 
This is not the output i ask for to safely remove some files to install the missing tools to repartition.
Please
Code:
du -kx /home | sort -n | tail -n 50 > /home/user/MyDocs/disk_usage.txt
post disk_usage.txt here

miroslav_s 2012-02-08 10:26
Re: application memory not enough space
 
Michaaa62, I did same cleaning or should I say deleting some file and folders and suddenly everything went back to be fine and normal. I can install again as normal, I can update and so on. Just as you said the phone was full and needed some cleaning. Hopefully that was the problem. What I found strange this time is that when I executed the command in X terminal like you said and then went to view the disk_usage.txt file I saw that the file is empty. Nothing, blank. So I thought I did something wrong and tried the earlier commands in you earlier post (#14 and #18) here in this tread and they came out with the same results. The files were all totally empty. Strange. Since I donīt have my phone with me right now I cannot try it again but I will later today just to see, perhaps I did something wrong after all. Nevertheless I thank you for all the help.

Re: application memory not enough space
 
You still may want to repartition...
Here is the fine wiki entry about it: http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash

miroslav_s 2012-02-08 23:02
Re: application memory not enough space
 
Will try that for sure. Thanks

Re: application memory not enough space
 
I have partitioned my N900 for installing Nitdroid, but by mistake i lost my my N900 storage, i used the command of wiki for partitioning the eMMC but i am not able to umount /home/user/MyDocs giving error device or resource busy also as described table not accepted by sfdisk i am just made calls from my cell no applications running, Kindly guide me

Regards

michaaa62 2012-02-21 18:58
Re: application memory not enough space
 
Is MyDocs folder still in use by any other application, like media player, image viewer or are 'you' still in the MyDocs folder in X-Terminal application. This will prevent the partition to be unmounted.

Which solution you are trying to apply?
Did you make the file system for your nitdroid partition?
Please post the output of
Code:
mount
sudo gainroot
sfdisk -l
You might as well show the table, you want to dump to the device.

Thanka a lot MICHAA 62 for a prompt reply, i just want to use maemo, android and ubunto in my cell, i had trying the solution #2 as described by wiki partitioning the flash to install multiple os, i attached here snapshot of your commands, now i restore my emmc and my mmcblk0p1 restored as 24.4 GB but still i not able to open application i.e. conversation, camera, notes....

please guide me how to create "table" i.e. unit: sectors ..... there is no response received after giving table command in xterm.

Thanks again for your valued response

Regards

Well, the first part of the solution #2 reads in fat letters:
Quote:
Warning: the contents of MyDocs will deleted. Perform a backup!
The explanations for solution #2 are rather sparse and, be warned, require additional knowledge in the latter stages!

Your Emmc partioning scheme is crippled now! And has no swap!
Restoring anything now is just a waste of time because you first have to correct things!

You create the file named 'table' with a text editor, may it be nano, vi or leafpad, and copy and paste the content of the wiki or create a custom layout. Or use the echo command for this
Code:
echo "unit: sectors
/dev/mmcblk0p1 : start=      64, size= 39854080, Id= 0
/dev/mmcblk0p2 : start= 39854144, size= 16777216, Id= 5
/dev/mmcblk0p3:  start= 56631360, size=  4194304, Id=83
/dev/mmcblk0p4 : start= 60825664, size=  1572864, Id=82
/dev/mmcblk0p5 : start= 39854160, size=  9765680, Id=83
/dev/mmcblk0p6 : start= 49619856, size=  7011504, Id=83" > table
These lines are all just one command, best copy and paste it, but make sure the content is what you want!
You have to dumb this 'table' to the device
Code:
sfdisk --no-reread /dev/mmcblk0 < table
The MyDocs partition is disabled, so that Maemo does not produce any errors. After a needed reboot, you should apply the file systems
