Fedora, no more disk space #138

Closed wiiznokes closed 1 year ago

wiiznokes commented 1 year ago

After building the DE on Fedora, i feel like it messed up my install. I post an issue on Fedora forum already https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/why-i-have-no-more-disk-space-in-usr/89997 but they redirect me here.

basically, i can't install package because /usr is full (but it say it fill at 1%), and /usr is in read-only.

I executed sudo setenforce 0 and reseted it to 1.

gdm package is not installed.

sudo systemctl restart gdm
Failed to restart gdm.service: Unit gdm.service not found.

If you have an idea on how can i repair my install, please let me know :pray:

I had the same "read-only filesystem" issue on PopOS 22.04 and this seems to be the cause: freedesktop systemd-sysext System extension images are strictly read-only, and the host /usr/ and /opt/ hierarchies become read-only too while they are activated.

Disabling systemd-sysext should fix the issue, which will also disable your cosmic-epoch build. edit: this will also disable any other systemd-sysext extensions

sudo systemctl disable systemd-sysext

thanks, that works :pray: . I will add sudo systemctl stop systemd-sysext if someone will have the same issue

The systemd-extension installation method is meant as an easy way to test the desktop, while proper packaging is not available, without modifying your system. It is not meant as a permanent installation method (at least not on normal mutable installations, on read-only systems like silverblue this is more feasible).

Feel free to submit a PR highlighting this in the README and explaining the effects.
