This is an up to date intrepid ami64 as of 17 oct.
I am trying to download a roughly 150-200mb .wmv file. When I click the link to download firefox asks me if I want to open with movie player or save the file. Before I can answer this another pop up dialog opens with the following message.
"There is not enough room on the disk to save /tmp/dsxlVmgs.wmv.part.
Remove unnecessary files from the disk and try again, or try saving in a different location."
My filesystem (/) and home (/home) are on different partitions. / has 725.1MB free and /home has 11.7GB free as reported by nautilus. Both have enough space for this movie. Oddly /tmp only reports having 992.0KB free.
Here is the relevant output of 'df -h'
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 4.7G 3.8G 726M 85% /
/dev/sda5 74G 59G 12G 84% /home
overflow 1.0M 32K 992K 4% /tmp
First off is /tmp supposed to have a size limit and if so why is mine only 1MB?
The other issue here is that "save file" by default and manual selection saves into the /home partition which has tons of space. Even if my /tmp and / are full it should allow me to save to /home which has space.
SIDE NOTES: I realize my filesystem is too low on space (it only has that much because i ran 'apt-get clean') and I plan to allocate more to in someday when I have access to a cd drive so that i can resize partitions.
Could the problem have been that when the computer was turned on it had very very little space causing /tmp to be limited to a very small size and this limit was not changed when more space became available? |

The only option is to click "ok" which then closes both dialogs preventing the file from being saved to "a different location" with more space.

Could the problem have been that when the computer was turned on it had very very little space causing /tmp to be limited to a very small size and this limit was not changed when more space became available? |

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance. |
