I'm installing one package while getting the error that Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 28] No space left on device However, I'm pretty sure my space is sufficiently empty and mostly unused.

UPDATE: The result I get after running df -h --exclude-type=squashfs

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev            7.6G     0  7.6G   0% /dev

The result I get after running df -i --exclude-type=squashfs:

As you can see the root folder and home folder is only used left than 10%. So far I checked some sources and some answers suggest that it is because of /tmp. I tried to unmount but the problem persists. Can someone offer me some suggestions and possible solutions for it? Thanks a lot.

NEW UPDATE

  • Can you replace that output with the output of `df -h --exclude-type=squashfs` and `df -i --exclude-type=squashfs`? – muru Oct 18 '18 at 05:41
  • @muru Hi please refer to updated question. – demid Oct 18 '18 at 09:48

    /home seems to be 100% full .. Please update your question with the output of `du -sh /home`. – Soren A Oct 18 '18 at 10:01
  • @SorenA question updated, thx. – demid Oct 18 '18 at 14:17

    you have set up `294G` for '/` and `32G` for `/home`. I would have done the other way round. – pLumo Oct 18 '18 at 15:17
  • @RoVo oh god that's a terrible mistake, can I boot from the live system and redo partition? – demid Oct 19 '18 at 02:54
  • @RoVo Cuz before I actually had the same problem with "`not enough space`" since I only had 20GB for `/` while too much space for `/media` so I resized it. – demid Oct 19 '18 at 03:01
  • yes, 20G is just not enough, 32G should be fine, I'd go with 40G to make sure. You can resize partitions with [gparted started from a live usb](https://askubuntu.com/questions/126153/how-to-resize-partitions?noredirect=1&lq=1). – pLumo Oct 19 '18 at 08:17
