Mixbus4 Installation issue
#1
Hi,

I' m trying to install mixbus4 and got this message :

!!! ERROR !!! - Insufficient disk space in /tmp/selfgz5440
Install requires 755224960 bytes and
there is only 521625600 bytes of free space

Any idea to solve this please.

It says there's not enough space in /tmp.
So: do you have /tmp in a separate partition or do you have / with everything including /tmp on the same partition?
In a terminal window, try:
df -h
It will tell you how much space is used/left in all mounted file systems.
Free space in /tmp if /tmp has it's own partition or enlarge the partition using tools like gparted.If /tmp is in the / as well as /home - make space in your home folder so /tmp will have more space to hold the temporary files.
--> Also, you will need space to save yur actual sessions... maybe you think about a new storage strategy?

Hi,
(my english is not very good to! sorry for that!Rolleyes)
Thank for your answer MMM.

i have / with everything including /tmp.

df -h :
Sys. de fichiers Taille Utilisé Dispo Uti% Monté sur
udev 3,9G 4,0K 3,9G 1% /dev
tmpfs 791M 1,2M 790M 1% /run
/dev/sda1 118G 48G 64G 43% /
none 4,0K 0 4,0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 1,0G 362M 663M 36% /tmp
none 5,0M 0 5,0M 0% /run/lock
none 3,9G 72K 3,9G 1% /run/shm
none 100M 4,0K 100M 1% /run/user
tmpfs 396M 400K 396M 1% /var/log

Everything is on sda1, i think there is enough space to install mixbus? What do you think about it?

Look at my output from df -h:

/dev/root 78G 62G 12G 84% /
/dev 3.9G 1.0M 3.9G 1% /dev
none 3.9G 79M 3.8G 2% /dev/shm
/dev/sda5 143G 42G 101G 30% /home
/dev/sdc2 2.8T 1.4T 1.4T 51% /media/Seagate Backup Plus Drive
/dev/sdb1 932G 704G 229G 76% /media/toshiba

With 3 drives and sda5 with two partitions, just 6 entries.

Your setup has one drive, and 9 entries! This is just a guess,
but I think your OS setup is perhaps too complex to 'be lucky'
at hosting a daw system, in the long run.

What I have done for a decade now, is start with both root, home,
and swap partitions, swap sized at 50% of ram. I now use about
40% disk for root, and 60% (minus swap size) for /home,
since mixbus, ardour, bitwig etc install to /opt and I like ample
space in /tmp for remastering the system to an install dvd.

I also start with barebones distros, so if I want a kde or gnome app,
I can install it with just it's core depencies, without bringing in
the entire bloated circus that many distros have devolved into.

Try moving a gigabyte or two of something on to a usbstick, reboot,
and try installing again.
Cheers

By my calculator you are 233599360 bytes short.
Perhaps your temp dir is too full too small or something like that.
Time to back up..

Hi,
thank you for your interest.
What i don't understand is : my os is installed on a 120Gio HD, 45.60Gio used so 73.64Gio free to install mixbus. It's not enough?

I had the same problem. The workaround i used was to choose another folder than /tmp for the installation using TMPDIR=

TMPDIR=/home/youki/ bash Ardour-5.8.0-x86_64.run

HD is not the problem here. The installer temporarily unpacks some data to /tmp. Your system is configured to use tmpfs for /tmp - which means it stores those temporary data in RAM instead of the HD.

see:
Quote:tmpfs 1,0G 362M 663M 36% /tmp

BTW in Debian this can be configured easily in /etc/default/tmpfs - RAMTMP=no

Yes that's it! I'had forgotten to tell that my hd is a ssd and what i had redirected my /tmp towards the RAM. I give 2.0G to the RAM and everything is ok. Mixbus 4 is installed.
Thanks to all of you for your help and sorry for this oversight Shy

Have good time with Mixbus and have fun in music!

Cheers

Oliv
