Fedora :: Yum Complaining About Lack Of Space On /boot?
Jan 20, 2010
I've been trying to run a simple `yum update` for the last couple weeks, but it barfs before it finishes every time. For every single package it will say something similar to "('installing package libdrm-2.4.17-1.fc12.i686 needs 208KB on the /boot filesystem', (9, '/boot', 212992L))"
Here's an example of the output:
Code:
Running rpm_check_debug
Running Transaction Test
Finished Transaction Test
Transaction Test Succeeded
[Code]...
This is a machine that I recently put through several upgrades: Fedora 9-> Fedora 10 -> Fedora 12. The computer has been working well for the most part, with some minor bugs here and there. Yum updates were working just fine until this popped up.

I have been running f13 ever since it was released. Evidently the kmod-rt2870 rpms are never deleted when older kernels are removed. When I tried to do today's update the Package Manager and yum complained that some of the older kmod-rt2870 packages left over from fedora 12 were missing kernel dependencies. The kernels have been missing for a long time. I don't know why the package manager started complaining today.
I tried
1) yum clean all
2 rpm --rebuilddb
3) removed the /lib/modules directory corresponding to the old kernels
and the problem persisted.
I finally removed all of the kmod-rt2870 rpms what where originally installed in fedora 12 and I was finally able to complete the update. Why did the package manager suddenly start complaining about the missing kernels?

Just installed fedora 13. Everything is great except for the total lack of sound. I'm trying to use the onboard audio. Motherboard is asus M4A89TD. In alsamixer all of my devices are turned on to max.
Code:
$ lspci | grep Audio
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)
05:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc HD48x0 audio
Code:
$ lsmod
Module Size Used by
tcp_lp 2055 0
fuse 54749 4
ipt_MASQUERADE 2208 1
iptable_nat 5420 1
nf_nat 19059 2 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat .....
When I open pavucontrol, under output devices it lists 'HDA ATI HDMI Digital Stereo (HDMI)' and 'Internal Audio Analog Stereo'. I think the correct device needs to be the the ATI SB one, but is missing from the list.

I'm not exactly sure that it goes in 'General' but hopefully it'll be alright here Anyways I'm trying to use 'preupgrade' to update my system but it's telling me I don't have enough space on /boot. I've already followed the instructions on the Fedora Wiki for removing unused Kernels and the like to try to free up more space. Here is what I have when I check the space on /boot :
Code:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 198337 71584 126753 37% /boot
Is 126MB not enough? :s
What can I do? Should I be looking to expand the /boot partition's actual size? EDIT: I don't know if it affects anything, but I am running Fedora on an HP Mini 1000 with a 16GB SSD and have about 6.9GBs free overall.

I've been having a problem updating for the last few days. Everytime I try "yum update" it downloads the packages I need and when it tries to install them it stops because of this errors:Quote:
installing package kernel-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 needs 5MB on the /boot filesystem
installing package libuser-devel-0.56.13-1.fc12.x86_64 needs 5MB on the /boot filesystem
installing package compiz-0.8.2-21.fc12.x86_64 needs 5MB on the /boot filesystem

I'm trying to run preupgrade to upgrade to fedora 14 from fedora 12 and get a message saying there is not enough space in /boot/upgrade. I've found some instructions on how to make more room in the boot directory but I get an error near the last step as I have noted below:
Method 1: Free up space
First, try to remove any kernel packages not currently in use on your system. The kernel-prune.py script can be used to identify kernels that may be safely removed. If you choose to remove additional kernels, be prepared with installation media should you be unable to return to your previously installed system.
The installer will need approximately 26M of free space in /boot. Use the following command to determine the amount of free space in the /boot partition:
df -h /boot
To identify kernels that may be safely removed, run the following from a command line:
curl -O '[URL]'
chmod a+x kernel-prune.py
./kernel-prune.py
Now, to actually remove the kernel versions listed by the above command, run the following as root:
# PKGS=`./kernel-prune.py`
# echo $PKGS
# yum remove $PKGS
Next, adjust the number of reserved filesystem blocks using the command tune2fs. You'll first need to identify the block device for your /boot file system. In the example below, /dev/sda1 is the block device for the /boot filesystem.
# mount | grep "/boot"
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext4 (rw)
I get this far and get the following Error:
[root@localhost ~]# mount | grep "/boot"
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
[root@localhost ~]# /dev/sda1 on /boot tupe ext3 (rw)
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[root@localhost ~]# mount | grep "/boot" /dev/sda1 on /boot/type ext3 (rw)
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[root@localhost ~]#
Now, adjust the number of reserved blocks for the /boot filesystem using the command tune2fs. Normally, a small amount of space on ext filesystem formatted partitions is 'reserved' and can only be used by the system administrator; this is to prevent an entirely full partition from rendering a system unbootable, and allow the administrator some space in which to work in order to clean up 'full' partitions. However, neither of this cases really applies to the /boot filesystem, so removing this reserved space is safe.
# tune2fs -r 0 /dev/sda1

I was impressed to be asked on Fedora 10 if I want to upgrade to Fedora 11 but the first time I tried I had this error:
Not enough space in /boot/upgrade to download install.img.
My boot partition is 99MB and AFAIK that is not unusual so I tried tidying up a bit, uninstalling all except 2 kernels, and now have about 80MB for whatever needs to be downloaded in /boot/upgrade. But I get the same error. I can fix this by using wired instead of wireless networking but I want to know for planning purposes (next time I create a boot partition) how much space is required?
$ ls -l /boot/upgrade
total 21594
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18985802 2009-06-03 00:02 initrd.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3035056 2009-06-03 00:02 vmlinuz
Should I delete these? It looks like they might be left over from last time but I assume preupgrade knows what is junk and what isn't.

I've got Fedora 11 working fine on an HP Mini 2140 netbook. (Wireless works after enabling the rpmfusion repo and installing the broadcom-wl driver.) Now I want to try to put Moblin 2.0 on the netbook as a dual boot.
Unfortunately the Moblin installer (Anaconda? Looks like it.) reports that there's no free space on the / volume. It looks like what's going on is that Fedora 11 created two partitions: /boot and /; and the / partition is LVM and uses all the rest of the available space on the hard drive.
I want to continue using Fedora 11's bootloader for any dual boot. So, basic question #1: Is the solution to create another partition for the Moblin install, or to resize the existing / LV in the existing LV group, and then create another LV for the Moblin install? In other words, can I install another OS on a second LV in the same LVG?

I installed the live CD version of fedora (dual boot with vista) on my laptop. After I connected to the internet the updates downloaded and all went well. however when i restarted at the boot screen I found two instances of fedora such as
Fedora(2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686)
Fedora(2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)
Other
The "other" is vista. I am wondering if this is OK or whether I have two fedora. If so i would like to remove one of them to save disk space.

I am trying to dual boot Fedora 13 onto my Windows 7 machine. I have shrunk my Windows drive to create 100GB of unpartitioned space, but when trying to install Fedora onto this free space (it is recognized as "Free" space), the installer tells me that there is no space for the partition.

Any time I start k3b, it complains about 'The file or folder /media/disk/.... does not exist' (which indeed does not exist). Where is this path stored? How can I remove it? grep -r /media/disk ~/.kde/* does not give any hit.

I was trying to install Fedora 13, on to my laptop. I have 30 GB of unallocated space in extended partition. When trying to install Fedora 13, I got stuck, as the installer says that there is no free space for installation.can convert the unallocated space into free space.

For a while my ISP has been sending me emails regarding an infected computer or computers on my local network. There are 4 computers running linux and 3 running windows on said network (3x ubuntu, gentoo, 2x windows server 2003 and windows 7).Now, I haven't used Windows in oh so many years and am not responsible for those computers on this network. Does it seem like this is a virus on a Windows host or should I research and adjust my iptables settings on the router? The applied anti-virus software (I don't know which one) apparently does not find any infections. On my workstation I'm using spotify and win32 office through wine, both obtained from legal and trusted sources, and would thus not consider my wine environment a threat.

I got a new laptop a few days ago, to which I installed Fedora 12, and I am trying to install xmacro on it. I downloaded.I looked at this thread and one of the posts says there are instructions here but the link does not work for me.I installed xmacro on my old laptop (Debian) with no problems. I don't remember how, but I suppose it will be different installing an rpm anyway.

I'm using a HP 7100 laptop and have tried installing the latest versions of Suse, Mandriva, as well as Slakware and have repeatedly been faced with two problems: .1. No Sound: Research via the web suggests that the lack of sound MAY BE due to the particular HP laptop model but there is a doubt here. Sound does work with the Winow$ 7 software but it does not work with any of the above noted Linux softwares. Are any of you familiar with this? .2. KPPP: Are any of you using KPPP with the latest version of Fedora, using KDE4? If so, how did you get it to work?

I'm trying to get automounting working with Arch on my laptop, and I've installed thunar-volman. The trouble is, whenever I put in a CD or plug in a USB mass storage device (thumb drive, USB hard drive, etc.), it gives me a dialog like the following: Quote:
Failed to mount [CD/DVD/USB device here]. Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.31" (uid=1000 pid=5706 comm="exo-mount) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=2186 comm="/usr/sbin/hald)).
I'm guessing this means there's some config in HAL or DBus that I need to fix, but I can't even begin to figure out what file it could be in.. I've tried searching LQ and Google to no avail. It seems that either the solution is sitting right in front of me, or hardly anyone even has this problem. I can mount the devices manually (as root), but like I said, if I put in a CD/DVD or plug in a USB storage device, or if I double-click the icon on the desktop, I get the above error. I've tried adding myself to the groups optical, disk, storage, and power, but I still get the same thing.

Logical Memory Space of 4GB is divided in to 3GB User Space and 1GB Kernel Space. Always. Correct?
1. How can we change it? (just changing value of PAGE_OFFSET is okay?)
2. If system have only 256MB of memory (embedded system) and suppose Kernel Modules eat away all the memory during boot. User space will be left will no memory. Is this case possible?

We have Ubuntu 8.04 running on our mail server and remote smtp connection does not work.
When trying to send with a client such as Thunderbird it complains about a wrong usernamepassword.
Receiving mail with IMAP and POP3 works fine through Thunderbird. Both receiving and sending mail through a web interface(horde) works.
I can remotely telnet the server at port 25 and this is the output of ehlo:
Code:
250-**server address**
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 25000000
250-VRFY

I came up on RedHat. While I thoroughly embrace Ubuntu now, I miss the concept of runlevels. I installed all my CentOS servers with Gnome as a convenience on tap when needed. I boot them to runlevel 3 and open a vnc shell if i need gui. Then kill the vnc thus killing the gui. Just a fantastic compromise for me.
SOooo...how to replicate this behaviour in Ubuntu?
NOT a very broad topic on here that I can see. Anyone doing this? How?

It's a long long story how I got to this point but I'll save that for later. Ubuntu says subAir does not work due to lack of SSL support. That's only one reason why it doesn't work. I've gotten past that and a few more issues. Here is what I've done: Used stunnel to get around the SSL issue.stunnel -c -f -d 127.0.0.1:8080 -r streaming.one.ubuntu.com:443
subAir still will not work and return a 403 because it wants to do a GET /I got around that two ways. One was a reverse squid proxy and another was an Apache proxy. Ok, now we're cooking. Except now subAir is sending POST data to the subsonic server and ubuntu's version does not seem to like that. Try it yourself
curl -d "c=myapp" https://streaming.one.ubuntu.com/rest/getIndexes.view -v
curl https://streaming.one.ubuntu.com/res...s.view?c=myapp -v
sigh.... so here I am thinking about writing a POST to GET 'thing' or maybe we can get some more info on how ubuntu's subsonic api works.

I have a Dell XPS 15 laptop and have installed Slackware 13.0 on it. I'm not getting any sound through the speakers. I tried configuring alsa first. However, I did not have any success. Next I also tried inserting some kernel modules corresponding to sound drivers, which was present in /lib. Again, I'd no sound output.I can get sound through earphones though.I've been stuck with this problem from some time.
