i have a very difficult problem i cant install stuff because it keeps saying i dont have enough space but i have over 37gb of free space how do i fix this ? https://ibb.co/QD52rdV i dont even have that much stuff installed , i just came from manjaro kde and i didnt like it but i see kaos is weird and buggy too , font management doesnt even work https://ibb.co/ZXH4V0K
Gingle i see kaos is weird and buggy too , font management doesnt even work
That is not a KaOS bug, but an issue KDE introduced with Plasma 5.22.0, fixed already in KaOS, you will get the fix with today's updates.
The image clearly shows what partition is full (/boot), so without further logs or info I can only assume this is a Windows dual boot, where Windows assigned their notorious boot partition size (done to prevent users from installing any other OS).
You need to post the output of df -h to get a clear answer what is going on with /boot (probably only 100 Mb), or clear out that partition, so you have space left again.
demm here it is https://ibb.co/DYhFqPt but how do i get rid of boot ? i didnt know programs got installed to boot partition , and i did install this alongside windows 10, its uefi
You don't get rid of boot, that is needed to load any (UEFI) OS, Windows included, and yes, my hunch was right, you have a 100 Mb boot partition, of which Windows usually needs ~ 80 Mb. No apps get installed to /boot, but kernel images are needed there. So if that partiton is full, no new/needed kernel images can be included, thus making your system unbootable. Don't you think the option to block updates in such cases is better then letting it go thru and have an unbootable system?
If you know what files are needed and which are not, you can delete the unneeded from /boot, but better post the output of ls -s /boot (no image please, copy the actual outcome here).
demm here it is but i dont know what i should delete in it , is there a way to make it bigger like around 10gb or so?
gingle ls -s /boot

10 Gb is not needed at all, all standards call for a 512 Mb ESP (EFI boot partition), that USED to be Windows standard/default too. Expanding an Windows ESP will almost always cause the Windows boot files to be corrupted, so not an option (another way they made sure it will be as hard as possible to dual boot). Only other option is to create an extra ESP (/boot partiton), but start with deleting the KaOS fallback image, that should create enough room to run updates safely, drawback is, you will have to remove that image after most updates (any kernel, systemd, filesystem, etc update will trigger a kernel image regeneration).
sudo rm /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.imgi dont know how to make another esp partition but when i ran that command i was able to install virtualbox so i guess thats works, but i dont like it like this for the long run , ill just find a way to install kaos on a separate harddrive , i just hate that i have to start all over again
