not enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives
#6
(07-23-2020, 04:27 PM)Thanks for your reply! so yes, I did have another partition that was not recognized by pinephone.  I was hoping it could be used as storage.  So, seeing how I had no ceiling to grow the root file system I deleted the 3rd partition and then I was able to use Gparted and resized to 5.8G. (then i formatted the rest to extended ext4, but it looked strange, and I have yet to see if that will be usable or not).  There were a few glitches to updating after the successful resizing, like the message saying my update will not happen for another 17 days (?!) then I saw that my clock had been set to July 5.Then after finally updating, the phone was very sluggish for a while. I had to double/triple tap to get through. slowly but surely. devrtz Wrote:

Third partition?  Are you sure that your are looking at the device (SD card? eMMC?) where mobian is installed?
I have seen that UBports has a partitioning layout with quite a few partitions. Are you sure that you are not looking at them?

On my mobian I have the following:
Code:
mobian@mobian:~$ lsblk
NAME         MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mmcblk2      179:0    0  14,7G  0 disk
├─mmcblk2p1  179:1    0 121,1M  0 part /boot
└─mmcblk2p2  179:2    0  14,6G  0 part /
