#175788 — Help! -- Note enough space to store temporary files

SubjectHelp! -- Note enough space to store temporary files
Message-ID<sPyLT-NH-5@gated-at.bofh.it>
I am trying to install Qt on Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u2 
and I get a message that there is not enough disk space to 
store temporary files. It needs 580+ meg and only has 300+ meg.

After searching here and there I tried entering the command

	sudo mount -o remount,size=1G tmpfs /tmp

which is supposed to increase the size temporarily and 
"on-the-fly" but I still get the same error message.

Any ideas??

TIA for your help!

Dennis

Where's your tempdir?  I specifically set mine in my .zshrc (or whatever
shell you use), as my /boot is small and /home is on another drive.

Cheers!

Oops! That is "Not enough --"

Anyway, I just noticed that tmp is in a VG that is very small.
How do I temporarily tell the Qt installer to use temp space
on another partition. Say something like "/work4"?

Thanks again! You all are always very helpful!!

How ? From the Debian repository with APT ?

This is the kernel version, not the Debian version.
The Debian version is in /etc/debian_version.

If you are downloading and installing Debian packages with apt-get or 
the like, you need enough space in /var/cache to store the *.deb 
archives, and enough space into the destination filesystems to store 
their deflated contents. For instance if a package set installs 100 MB 
of files in /usr then you need at least 100 MB of free space in /usr to 
install or upgrade the packages.

> Anyway, I just noticed that tmp is in a VG that is very small.

Do you need a LV (logical volume ?)
Isn't the point of LVM that it makes resizing easier ?

Thanks for all the help!

All that was required was to set TMPDIR to point to a 
different tmp directory in a partition with more room!
