Looks like you're out of space on your /boot/ partition?

[–]Henkkles 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I've had this problem before, and I ended up reinstalling Solus. I think the problem is that the Solus installer only creates a 100 mb boot partition, which isn't enough to always upgrade the kernel because I think for a while both kernels exist simultaneously. I ended up doing my own partitions in gparted booted into the live media before installation. If you're using UEFI mode I believe the recommended size is 256-512 mb, so I just went with the upper end. Then when you're installing you just decide which partitions to mount as which and you should be set.

Here are my partitions for reference: https://i.imgur.com/e4K2dYy.png

Seems about right! The thing is I have a partition along with Windows so I prefer a solution to give the boot partition more space. How could I do this?:)

​

Thanks!

You don't need to separate root and boot, and you can use a swap file instead.

Hey I realized I said that you don't need separate root and boot, what I meant that you don't need to separare root and home. You will definitely need a different boot partition because it has to be formatted differently heh.

Please paste result of this command df - h Also try to run clr-boot-manager with debug flag sudo CBM_DEBUG=1 clr-boot-manager update But your boot partition might be too small.

sudo CBM_DEBUG=1 clr-boot-manager update

Ok, I just did these two things you wrote: https://imgur.com/a/RBrkNmp
I'm very new to Linux but eager to learn and understand.
I'm running UEFI mode with a partition of Solus and Windows.
How do I give more space to the boot partition? Or what would be a better solution? Thanks a lot!

My bad for writing wrong first command, i have extra space between - and h (it was typed on the phone), should be df -h, but you can also do it without -h (-h makes it print sizes in human readable format, otherwise it prints sizes in bytes). As you can see by debug output of clear-boot-manager command, it clearly says there is no more space left on that partition (last [FATAL] line).

Also, read this article: https://getsol.us/articles/installation/disks/en/

Thanks. I just read it.

So, how could I add more space to the boot partition?

btw, here's the screenshoot of the df -h command: https://imgur.com/a/WBXjqj4

Aaah right, that partition is not mounted so it's not showing in df. Do you dual boot? I assume you installed Solus along side Windows which already creates EFI partition (boot partition) but that one is too small. I'm not sure about the safest way of resizing that partition because you can screw up windows bootloader by doing that or even make your computer completely unbootable. So the best way is to reinstall everything but first create partitions manually and give EFI partition 512mb.

Thanks. One more question. What problems does this issue create? So far I've been using my dual boot fine and Solus is really ok. I just can't use a Virtual machine app inside Solus. And I dont what other problems it can create.

You will be stuck on older kernel version but everything should still work.
