[SOLVED] WIne disk full error

animeresistance · 07-13-2012, 07:41 PM

Hello

Sorry for the post, i googled some about the Wine Disk Full, but i only got some ubuntu approaches and a winehq one (yep i know, linux is linux and almost all solutions work on it ()http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=179565) but when i want to create the symlink, it doesn't create it.

On console i write
$ln -s /home/Xuser/.wine/drive_z/home/Xuser->/home/Xuser

And it doesn't create it ... (or maybe i'm doing something wrong?

)

I wonder if these are the only approaches?

Does somebody has the key to fix this ?

Thank you very much

I don't understand why these symbols "->" are there?

i'm not sure why, i just was following the thread of the forum ...

They were showing the text of a directory listing not giving you the command. The correct command to run would be:

Code:

ln -s /home/Xuser/.wine/drive_z/home/Xuser /home/Xuser

Looking at it though it seems to be linking a directory used by WINE to your home directory so it's probably useless.
Edit: Is your disk full? When you type:

Code:

df -H

what does it display?

Hi 273 ...

Nop, my disk is not full, is a wine issue, here are the results of typing

$df -H

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 492G 139G 328G 30% /
tmpfs 8.5G 0 8.5G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 8.5G 54k 8.5G 1% /tmp

Glad it works for you.

Would you mind posting your solution so that others can learn from it?

ln -s /home/Xuser/.wine/drive_z/home/Xuser /home/Xuser

Who in there right mind has someone do that

that is a prime example of a snake eating it's own tail
And that should cause a full disk ( well the 95% default)

now the linking that "might be done might be something like

Code:

ln -s  /home/Xuser /home/Xuser/.wine/drive_z/home/Xuser

there is a very big difference in that over the one above

you were blindly just doing something from 2006 FOR a DIFFERENT operating system
in regards to installing old games on a fat32 partition
and a partition format that can never be used for a $HOME partition on a linux system

Hi John VV.

Yep i know that i was blindly following something for another OS, sorry for that, but i haven't found a Slackware solution for that ... The only thing that i do is making another drive in winecfg and slecting the folder where i wanted the application to install and use (sounds weird but it worked). Wonder why wine doesn't see the disk free space ...

But well, i hope someday this solution helps anyone using our beloved Slackware ...
