jjj@Devil-Bonobo:/media/jjj/128GB$ df -hTPl -x tmpfs
Filesystem Type  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev   devtmpfs  7.9G  4.0K  7.9G   1% /dev
/dev/sdb1  ext4   23G   22G 0 100% /
/dev/sdb2  ext4  321G  216G   89G  71% /home
/dev/sdd1  ext4   11T  4.2T  6.2T  41% /media/jjj/Movies
/dev/sdc1  ext4  118G  9.7G  102G   9% /media/jjj/128GB

Now I see what Wes meant.  Apparently the system has no free space. I
have some free space on the main drive which I had planned to add to
the root partition. I can see a project for the Clinic this afternoon.
I will be sure to bring a copy of the latest bootable Gparted.

In the meantime commands work if I type the path completely.

I believe Wes is suggesting that the filesystem on /tmp/ may be
running low on disk space.  See this post:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/277387/bash-cannot-create-temp-file-for-here-document-no-space-left-on-device

Can you post the output of running this command?

$ df -hTPl -x tmpfs

It should look something like this:

$ df -hTPl -x tmpfs
Filesystem  Type  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udevdevtmpfs   32G  4.0K   32G   1% /dev

I'm not sure what you mean by 'check all drives/partitions.' The drive
where any extension would go and where the download would be is ~/.
That partition must have been working or nothing would have been
working. 

Also, I should have mentioned that today the command that generated the
error message was mkvmerge -i, but a few days ago the command that
generated the error message was a simple cd.

[wes]

you did state that there is plenty of space available, but did you check
all drives/partitions?

[PLUG] Bug? with tab completion in terminal

[John Jason Jordan]

A few days ago, while attempting to get information about a movie file
that had a long and complicated name I just typed the first couple of
letters and then hit tab. Here is an example from just now:

mkvmerge -i The_bash: cannot create temp file for
here-document: No space left on device

I had typed 'The_' before hitting tab. And, of course, there are
terabytes of free space available.

When this first occurred a few days ago I started to post a query here,
but was delayed in sending it. A few hours later I discovered that the
problem had resolved itself, so I killed the post that I was going to
send. But tonight it is back, so I probably need to solve the problem.

In case it is important, I almost always use Gnome terminal, but last
time it happened I experimented by going to a real command line
(Ctrl-Alt-F1), where the problem continued. In other words, it is
probably not Gnome terminal. 

The computer is Xubuntu 14.04, up to date.

Observations and suggestions welcome.
