Edit your /etc/fstab to add a line putting /tmp into a ramfs device. See the below excerpt of fstab: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier # for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name # devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# update-manager cannot see any space in /tmp when ramfs used ramfs /tmp ramfs size=256M,mode=1777 0 0 -------snip------ Reboot, and /tmp will be in a mounted ramdisk. The size=256M is unused, but will be reported by mount. Most things will run fine if you really do have free ram, but update-manager will die with insufficient space errors for any size (greater than zero) update. Change the two "ramfs"s in the line to tmpfs, and things work with update-manager. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495131 Title: update-manager cannot find space on /tmp ramdisk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/495131/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
