For some reason Calibre won’t let me do anything because “drive is full” which I assume has to do with this.
Update: I believe I “fixed” the error with Calibre by using FlatSeal to add environment variable CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR that changes the Temp directory to something else. So far that’s the only program I’ve seen give trouble.
Fedora Atomic Desktop 42 switched to composefs, which has a small full partition mounted to
/. Your “real” filesystem is mounted on/sysroothttps://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ComposefsAtomicDesktops
That makes sense, thank you! How can I clear up space in it?
You can’t, it just part of how Fedora works now. Maybe Fedora should patch Dolphin to take /sysroot into account instead of /
You don’t, it’s the immutable root partition. You probably need to find the point it’s trying to write to and link it to a location it can write to.
Note: I’m still a newbie to atomic desktops too.
You were correct, I believe I “fixed” the error with Calibre by using Flatseal to add an environment variable
CALIBRE_TEMP_DIRthat changed the Temp directory to something else.How are you trying to install Calibre? Is it via Flatpak? AppImage?
Did you try it from here? https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux
I’m guessing that that method won’t work with atomic distros. I’m guessing that it’s trying to copy files to an immutable spot.
I would try looking for a Flatpak first.
I was going to suggest the portable one as a backup but that’s only for Windows :(
Appreciate the response, I updated my post but I “fixed” this by changing Calibre’s temp directory.
