No space left on device when unpacking Android Studio files

[Richard H]

I am trying to download Android Studio components (using Android Studio Setup Wizard) to a Fedora template in Qubes 3.0 rc2 and it only successfully unpacks the first file and then starts providing me with  "Cannot write: No space left on device" errors.

I cannot figure this out because the downloader shows that it will require 1G of space and that I have 14G of data free (I have kept increasing the Private storage to over 16GB).  I have also increased the Max memory to 5GB.

Any ideas why I am receiving this message and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard!

The Installation possibly uses  /tmp which is mounted as tmpfs in memory with a few hundred MB.

Either make sure there is the required space available or get the installation to use /home/user/tmp (after creating it naturally). If that is an option.

Regards, Frank

Thanks,

Richard

You could also run 'sudo mount -o remount,size=1024M /tmp' from that
running template, adjusting size as needed.

Thanks to both of you, the tmp file was the issue and running 'sudo mount -o remount,size=1024M /tmp' allowed the Setup Wizard to run properly.

Another solution would be to use TMPDIR.

Use when launching from command line "TMPDIR=pathtouseastmp(can be a folder) studio.sh"
