Hi there everybody.

I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I installed the easy-debain
app and ran the image installed. The xtrem opened and downloaded the 300MB
file. Then extracted it, 1/2 way though it failed with a error I missed.
Then I noticed my /home is 100% full. I can not find the original file,
something .ext.deb or something that is suppose to extract to the 2gb space
needed. I did an "du" on the /home and saw that the "." is 302MB, but I can
not fine anything to delete there?.

I uninstalled 1 or 2 appes, but it did not clear much space.

Can someone please, please assist? Where is that dam big file?
Thanks very much!

the 2gig easy-deb file is in MyDocs, the 27 gig fat partition.
There must be another file or app that fils your /home partition
try:
to find large files

hope this helps

Hi there.

Thanks for the reply. The "-h" did not work, but with google's help I got some results, but no resolution.

Here are 2 screen shots. Hope this will help someone to help me.





PS. I can not find the file in MyDocs. Even though I said to install it in MyDocs during the initial installation.

My Docs is a directory located inside the user folder.

/home/user/MyDocs/

You most likely have for some reason tried to extract the file into /home/user or something.

You could type "df" in the terminal to see how much free space you have. Or you could go into "Settings " > "Memory" to check free space and what is using the space.

Hi every body. Thanks for all the help so far. Still no success. I uninstalled the easy deban image installer, but that did noting.
The Df command only showed that /user and /opt is 100%. I think the problem might be in /opt, but I don't know where to look. I'm startin to play with a way to find all the files edited in the last couple of days and then show the file size.

Yes. I've looked and looked in MyDocks, but the image is no where to be found. I don't think it's the actual image, as the problem came when it extracted the image. I presume into /home/somewhere instead of MyDocs.

Can someone point me to the person who created the install easy debain image script? This would help a lot.

Thanks.

Oh.. The setting/ diskspace in did not show much.. .. sigh..

That program fetches the latest image and extracts and sets up the image. Uninstalling it will have no effect on any installed or partially installed images.

Could you copy and paste the full output of that command? Eg for my machine I get

Try this:

Hi there. I ran the command you gave me
find /home/user/ -name debian*.ext2 | xargs ls -al

But it found other stuff, rather than the debain files. Very strange.

I think you need a backslash before the *. Like this:
