Not enough space in applicaion memory! HELP

I'm getting this message when i try to install applications from app manger:

"Not enough space in application install memory.Uninstall some applications to free enough space for this application"

I checked my free space memory for applications! Its 174 mb! Why I'm getting this error even for applications whose sizes are in KBs :( ?

Re: Not enough space in applicaion memory! HELP

Sounds like Rootfs is low.

Try a few of the tips here: Free_up_rootfs_space.

Re: Not enough space in applicaion memory! HELP

You gotta computer? What kind?

You might want to put basic information about what device you are using in your question.

Re: Not enough space in applicaion memory! HELP

Ops sorry!! I'm using nokia n900 :) rootfs showing alot memory free :(

Re: Not enough space in applicaion memory! HELP

There is not only rootfs, that might get filled to capacity. You might want to get some debugging output from the simple command

Code:

df

in X-Terminal application.
But: This error might just be misleading at all, please also look into the protocol/log of the application manager for further information

Re: Not enough space in applicaion memory! HELP

Sorry I'm a newbi! What exactly i have to do?

Re: Not enough space in applicaion memory! HELP

First: Do not post one-liners! Your N900's problems deserve some more info!
Second: Search the forum!
Third: Open X-Terminal application and type:

Code:

df

,then hit <ENTER> and read the output or copy and paste it here.
Fourth: Open application manager, tap on the upper menu bar and select protocol/log, read it or save it and attach to your next post!
Fifth: Relax and take it not too serious!

Re: Not enough space in applicaion memory! HELP

I got this when I pressed enter! I dunno why its format got changed!
SOrry for that one line post :(

And unfortunately in log I found only ''hildon-application-manager 2.2.71 :s

What to do now?

Re: Not enough space in applicaion memory! HELP

try uninstalling some unnedded apps like themes,icons you dont use.....etc

Re: Not enough space in applicaion memory! HELP

This does not look critical.
Please give the output of the commands

Code:

mount

ls -l /var/cache/apt

Re: Not enough space in applicaion memory! HELP

This is the result of mount :

But when i typed ''ls -1 /var/cache/apt'' without quotes it gave :

Quote:

~ $ ls -1 /var/cache/apt
/var/cache/apt

I smell something fishy :/

Re: Not enough space in applicaion memory! HELP

This a small letter 'L' in ls -l /var/cache/apt, not number One.

Nope, looks like my guessing are not leading anywhere. Nevertheless, filling optfs partition up to 92% could be a limitation, because standard linux ext3 file system reserves 5% for root-only-purposes by default.

What application did you try to install at all? You could try again, look at the log or post it here. Further you could try to install via apt-get from X-Terminal, if you have rootsh installed and post the output here.

Re: Not enough space in applicaion memory! HELP

@hussy.plus
you ever tried to extract and archive ? i mean after root ! you maybe extract it in rootfs instead of the correct place

./sifo

Re: Not enough space in applicaion memory! HELP

Any fix for N9? I have 400MB left on installed apps and over 1.5GB on Application data and I receive a "not enough disk storage" when installing wormux..hmm
