installation - no space left on device error

[Awrath]

That should be plenty of room for a regnum installation :|.

What is the output of "free -mt"?
We may as well look at the output of "df -iTh" to rule out inode usage.

I'll download RO's installer tonight and see if I can reproduce your issue.

I am assuming you are on debian/debian based distro?

And yes, its a fresh debian sid.

For default the size of /tmp is limited in most distros and Regnum is the only program I know that want to extract every files in /tmp so I had the same problem obviously

I "solved" this the hard way:

mkdir /partition_with_plenty_of_space/newtmp
cp -a /tmp/* /partition_with_plenty_of_space/newtmp
umount /tmp
rmdir /tmp
ln -s /partition_with_plenty_of_space/newtmp /tmp
INSTALL REGNUM HERE
rm /tmp
mount /tmp
rm -r /partition_with_plenty_of_space/newtmp

If your /tmp is not an own partition use mv instead of mount, umount

@NGD: Regnum should extract directly into the directory where you want to install it (as does any normal program)

[Awrath]

You can try to increase your tmpfs size with the following command:

sudo mount -o remount,size=1g,noatime /tmp

Then try installing RO, then revert back with:

sudo mount -o remount,size=401m,noatime /tmp

If this doesn't work, then you may need to try a physical hard drive location for /tmp rather than using tmpfs.

[aady]

mkdir ~/.tmp/
mount --bind ~/.tmp/ /tmp/
and now install

tigore ~ # du -sh /var/tmp/

Oh well, maybe you should look there and not /tmp ;/

[Kitsuni]

The /tmp diectory tends to fill up quite easily from installers.

You should permanently increase its size, to avoid this in the future. Add this to fstab:

tmpfs	 /tmp tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=4194304k 0 0

Of course, make sure that you have at least 4GB of memory (including swap), or adjust the amount to something lower.

Installer need have option choise temporary directory.

[rootproksy]

this is one of the many reasons why I always create separate partitions during initial install of my linux boxes
