Forester Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Had a problem installing my new scenery - kept getting an error about no disc space for the install. Funny that - I had 300 Gb plus of space! Turns out that I was out of memory for the temporary folder - all I had to do to resolve the problem was go to the settings menu and change the temporary folder from /tmp/ to a folder on another drive. Simple solution, I guess a wee gremlin the Orbx developers hadn't expected for their install engine. My system is Ubuntu 18.04, AMD Ryzen 3600, 16Gb ram, AMD 580 graphics. We live in an imperfect world, and life is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Hello, welcome to the forums. Is your version of Orbx Central different to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Didn't get the dialogue box offering to change location as far as I recall. My /tmp/ folder was showing 0 free bytes in the Orbx settings dialogue, whereas in my system it shows as 2.8 Gb. Probably a permissions mismatch.

Forester Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Or possibly a capitalisation thing - I've just noticed that your dialogue box has the directory spelled as \TMP\Orbx\temp. On windows I think you can ignore capitalisation - in Linux /TMP/ is a different directory to /tmp/ and the system will throw an error at you. Common mistake amongst developers who swap between Windows and Linux in the X-Plane community... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
