<br>
I've been using Mythbuntu for years and currently have version
12.04.5 LTS of Xbuntu/Mythbuntu installed on my home server.<br>
<br>
The system has been very stable for a long time, but I have
encountered some trouble tonight!<br>
It seems like all of the disks are write protected or something.<br>
<br>
I have run<br>
sudo mount -o rw,remount /<br>
(found online)<br>
on all of the drives, but that doesn't seem to help.<br>
<br>
Here's the output of df -h (again, that command online)<br>
df -h<br>
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on<br>
/dev/sda1 15G 8.6G 5.4G 62% /<br>
udev 3.8G 4.0K 3.8G 1% /dev<br>
tmpfs 787M 1.3M 785M 1% /run<br>
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock<br>
none 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /run/shm<br>
/dev/sda4 189G 108G 72G 60% /tv<br>
/dev/sdb1 1.8T 1.5T 269G 85% /files<br>
<br>
A few other observations that might help track down the problem
...<br>
<br>
A) If I try to add anything in Synaptic, I get the error:<br>
E: Can't write /root/.synaptic/selections.proceed<br>
and one of the lines I see in the terminal is:<br>
socket.error: [Errno 28] No space left on device<br>
<br>
B) If I try to create a file in my home directory, using nautilus
get the error:<br>
There was an error creating the directory in /home/gingerserver.<br>
and<br>
Error opening file '/home/homeserver/Untitled Document': No space
left on device<br>
in 'show more details'<br>
<br>
C) If I try to run Dropbox, I see ...<br>
IOError: [Errno 2] No usable temporary directory found in ['/tmp',
'/var/tmp', '/usr/tmp', '/home/homeserver']<br>
in the terminal.<br>
I then see a 'Downloading Dropbox' graphic pop up and scroll all
the way to 100%. As soon as it gets to 100%, the GUI says:<br>
Trouble connecting to Dropbox servers. Maybe your internet
connection is down, or you need to set your http_proxy environment
variable.<br>
<br>
D) If I try to open Firefox, the terminal says:<br>
** (firefox:5407): ERROR **: Resource problem creating
'/tmp/orbit-homeserver'<br>
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)<br>
<br>
Although I have been using Mythbuntu for years, I know almost
nothing about the command line. Everything I've entered above has
been from trying to find a solution online and simply copying and
pasting the command.<br>
<br>
I have been close to backing up this system before upgrading it to
the latest version of Mythbuntu. I assume I should try to get this
fixed before I start upgrading now!<br>
<br>
Let me know if you have any ideas what to do next.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Damian<br>
