Error in Ignite-UX installation.

[Amado A. Diaz Jr.]

Hello:

I have followed Ignite-UX installation instructions, but my problem is that the /var and /opt directory are nearly full. I tried to install Ignite-UX by choosing a different target under swinstall, but I recieve the error:

Ignite-UX cannot be installed in an alternate root environment (i.e. A diskless client)

I have installed Ignite-UX before, when I had no problems with the size of /var and /opt. Is there any other way I can install Ignite-UX?

Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Why not try cleaning up /var and /opt before retrying the installation ?

If you can't cleanup /var and /opt can you extend them?

/var includes many files directories used by other users. /var may be able to be cleaned up, but I wouldn't know what to delete from /var (this opens risk of accidently deleting some files used by other users). I have cleaned /var to the degree of files I know can be deleted, but it is still not enough space to accommodate for the Ignite-UX installation.

I was thinking of extending /var and /opt, but I just wanted to know if there were any other possibilities of installing Ignite-UX.

Hi,

# cd /var
# du -sk * | sort -n

This will sort out the directories based on the size.

Look at /var/adm/crash - if this is not a seperate filesystem then you might have some very old crash dumps that u can get rid of.
