From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can't update/remove/install on Fedora because of "no disk space" (sh.itjust.works)

Hi everyone!

A few days ago, I had a problem while trying to run KDE and Gnome as DE on Fedora 40. That problem was solved (see crosspost), but now, I can't update Fedora anymore as it says "the transaction did not complete" and I can't install or uninstall anything as it says I don't have space on my disk (which is not true).

Does anyone have an idea what to do?

Edit: apparently dnf clean and dnf clean all solved the problem, so thank you everyone as I was kind of panicking when I thought about all the work involved into having my perfect install again.

Hi everyone!

Today I tried to install KDE alongside Gnome to give it a try on Fedora on something else than a virtual machine.

For a reason I can't understand, the terminal couldn't finish the installation of KDE as something failed. Despite all of this, all the KDE apps were installed and Plasma is appearing as an option on the login screen under Gnome and Gnome Classic. Still I couldn't launch KDE plasma and nothing was happening after typing my login.

I took it as a sign that KDE isn't for me, especially because I'm 99% happy with Gnome.

So I removed KDE via the terminal and the remaining apps via the software center. Sadly, there is one app called "Centre de bienvenue" or "Welcome center" from KDE that I can't remove. Nothing is happening when I try removing it.

I tried removing it via the terminal, but when I type "dnf list installed" I can't find it as there are too many packages. Could anyone help me?

I also tried « dnf list installed » with the words « welcome », « bienvenue », « kde » and « plasma ».

Here are the results

I don't think free space is really the problem.

Btrfs and df don't get along. There are all sorts of internals to btrfs that non btrfs utils ignore. You should run

sudo btrfs filesystem df /
sudo btrfs device usage /

It will give you a better picture of what is going on.

Balancing my help as someone above pointed out, or you may need to boot to a live media of some kind and rebuild the free space cache. Especially with btrfs I encourage people to join their mailing list for help. The devs are awesome and can help you get sorted out.

/dev/nvme0n1p3 shows up mounted twice, that's kinda strange

[–] Lojcs@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's normal on btrfs

[–] demonsword@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

didn't knew that... why it happens?

They are different subvolumes in the same filesystem but df doesn't show subvolumes

[–] demonsword@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

understood, thanks

Mounted as / and /home

Yeah that's really odd.

[–] _thebrain_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Btrfs uses subvolumes instead of traditional partitioning. It takes some getting use to but it is totally normal for btrfs.
