I have mate 19.2 0n a USB flash drive.....when I do an update now ....It down loads and when it gets to the part that says configuring the kernel I get the message that says something about an error and to check details.....gzip: stdout: no space left on the device.....I ran the disk usage analyzer
Total filesystem capacity 100% 245.4 GB Total filesystem usage 11 % 27 GB
Does anybody this problem? and how to fix?
Thanks.....Crazy Larry

Re: gzip: stdout: no space left on the device
Hi, larrypoynor.
This error message already explains the root cause
This means,
+ if /boot is on a separate filesystem then it is full. No space left to write anything.
+ if /boot is on the root filesystem /, then the root filesystem is full. No space left to write anything.
Please, post the output of the terminal command
Regards,
Karl

Please, post the output of the terminal command
df -h | grep "^/dev/". This will tell us which filesystem is full, /boot or /. Knowing so will help us point you to the right way of resolving the root cause.Regards,

Re: gzip: stdout: no space left on the device
Karl, I've never heard of or seen a 245.4 GB Flash Drive, have you?

Re: gzip: stdout: no space left on the device
Hi, Larry78723.
I am currently running my OS here from a 128 GB microSD card.
There are also 256 GB microSD cards (net capacity might be roughly 245 GB).
There are USB pendrives having 128 GB, there are also USB pendrive having 256 GB. There are even larger pendrives than this. Of course, such pendrives are not really cheap, unless you buy some fake ones (but these won't work).
Here is a link to a 256 GB pendrive, Sandisk, offered by a German store. (No advertizing intended, just a quick shot to illustrate they do exist.
)
Cheers,
Karl

Re: gzip: stdout: no space left on the device
Well, there we have it. Could there be old kernels taking up space in there? If so, you can easily remove them using the Update Manager => View => Linux kernel => Remove old kernels.
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!
