This effects me on a fresh install of Xubuntu 14.04 LTS. Installed about two weeks ago.
I am suddenly unable to download files. I have been blocked downloading a .pdf and a .zip. Firefox gives me this error message: " There is not enough room on the disc to save /tmp/<filename> Remove unnecessary files from the disc and try again, or try saving in a different location. " Thunar tells me my temp folder has 3.1kb space free. It has two folders in it of 1kb a-piece. My home directory - where I was attempting to download - has 124Gb free. I installed using the guided / partition wizard. If the partitions under my bonnet are full up already, it suggests to me a very serious problem with the install. I had 8Gb in trash. Removed that. Problem unresolved. Since having my computer on today I've done some browsing, opened a lot of tabs, briefly skimmed/skipped some streaming video, displayed some .pdfs in browser. I'm using Firefox 29. here's the output of df: /dev/mapper/compo--vg-root 321041 262498 37449 88% / none 4 0 4 0% /sys/fs/cgroup udev 4 1779980 1% /dev tmpfs 358844 1036 357808 1% /run none 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock none 1794200 876 1793324 1% /run/shm none 102400 28 102372 1% /run/user /dev/mapper/compo--vg-tmp 368615 345060 3 100% /tmp /dev/sda1 240972 48642 179889 22% /boot /dev/mapper/compo--vg-home 133915952 5500128 121590252 5% /home /dev/mapper/compo--vg-usr 8516872 5599420 2461772 70% /usr /dev/mapper/compo--vg-var 2817056 886128 1768112 34% /var /home/user/.Private 133915952 5500128 121590252 5% /home/user /dev/sdb2 447233912 295719692 128772972 70% /media/user/74f8b831-ce17-4911-8787-162f5debcd24 $:/etc# du -chd1 / --exclude={proc,dev,media,mnt,tmp} 5.4G /usr 12K /root 1.0K /opt 1.0K /srv 11G /home 0 /sys 46M /boot 1.0K /lib64 9.5M /bin 12K /lost+found du: cannot access ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied 1.9M /run 9.3M /etc 13M /sbin 208M /lib 851M /var 17G / 17G total -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285080 Title: incorrect error: there is not enough room on the disk to save To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/285080/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
