I am trying to install Sagemath on a Qubes OS vm based upon Fedora 30, using:

sudo dnf install sagemath

which failed.

 

Template: fedora-30

This vm was started with default private/system storage 7 GB/10 GB.

Initial memory 400 MB

Max memory 4000 MB

VCPUs no.: 2

Mode:  PVH

 

The installation transaction summary reports:

Install 893 packages

Total download size:  1.1 G

Installed size: 4.1 G

I answer yes to install.

 

The system progresses through a portion of the installation and ends with:

Error Summary

Disk Requirements:

  At least 1506GB more space needed for the / filesystem

 

The second to the last report line is the installation of sagetwx which needs 1504MB.  Then

the last entry is sagemath which needs 1506MB.

 

The last entry memory requirement matches the error report for 1506MB.  More may be required.  

 

Qube Manager showed Disk usage for the VM to be zero.  I closed the manager and reopened.  It then showed 216.78 MiB.  [Is there a way to make this update in realtime?]

 

The system storage is (10 GB) is grayed out.  I don't see how to change it but I don't expect that to be a solution.  

I stopped the VM, increased the private storage to 9.2 GB, restarted the VM, repeated the installation command, and received a similar error. 

 

Error Summary

Disk Requirements:

  At least 1480MB more space needed for the / filesystem

 

The second to the last report line is the installation of sagetwx which needs 1477MB.  Then

the last entry is sagemath which needs 1480MB.

 

The last entry memory requirement matches the error report for 1480MB.  It is curious the space requirements were not the same between the two runs, the failure occurred at the same point even though the private storage was increased by about 2 GB.    

 

I closed the manager and reopened.  It again showed 216.78 MiB.

  

Can I expect that the installation report on storage sizes is accurate?

 

The system storage is (10 GB) is grayed out.  I don't see how to change it but I don't expect that to be a solution.  


Any suggestions on how I may address this?

I restarted the VM and attempted an installation.  It failed.

I rebooted the computer.  The installation completed.

Thanks for the good news that it succeeded after reboot!
Enjoy using SageMath and, if you want, let us know what
wonderful things you're doing with it.
