Version: Release 71.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux I keep receiving an error which says "you are running low on disk space on your home partition (currently -72% free), would you like to run konqueror to free some disk space and fix the problem?". However, the system seems perfectly usable. Should the free space be reported as a negative number? I have plenty of free space for each partition. df shows the usage as: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 10490040 3917096 6572944 38% / udev 257048 192 256856 1% /dev /dev/sda5 136500 39824 96676 30% /boot /dev/sda7 2104376 432584 1671792 21% /var /dev/sda8 2104376 129700 1974676 7% /tmp /dev/sda9 5245016 34004 5211012 1% /srv /dev/sda10 100547708 2093384 98454324 3% /home /dev/sda1 33792972 19262052 14530920 58% /windows/C 192.168.0.7:/home/share 200003136 52587520 147415616 27% /home/share 192.168.0.7:/mnt/SUSE-10.1/DVD 8309664 8309664 0 100% /mnt/SUSE-10.1/DVD I am running SUSE 10.1 with the following additional installation repositories: http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.1/ http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.1 http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.1 http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/Backports/SUSE_Linux_10.1/ http://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/unix/linux/suse/suse/update/10.1 http://software.opensuse.org/download/Compiz-Quinn/SUSE_Linux_10.1/
hmm, I guess you have too much free disk - it may not fit in an integer :)
What creates the pop-up warning message to run? Is there a 'watcher' somewhere? I can't seem to see anything here on 3.5.4 that does that? I was wondering if it has a wrongly set up config file to check against. Nick
I rebooted my machine and logged in. I left it on the desktop without opening any other apps and left it. When I came back to the machine after 30 mins or so the warning message had reappeared. Stephan may be right about the free space being too big for an integer; that would possibly explain the negative number. Flashbacks of undergraduate discrete mathematics module comes flooding back ;-) If it helps to know what my machine has been running, the output from ps aux is: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.1 0.0 716 284 ?

I am having the same problem, except I clicked the don't show this again in the dialog that appears, and now Konqueror opens instaed, this is extremely annoying. If I leave the machine for a while, and retun there will be 8 instances of konqueror open, I have 125 gigs of free space in my home partition.
Having same issue with low disk space on /home partition. Plenty of space on that drive and I did not start getting this warning until I did the updates on 9-13-06.
I see coolo already fixed it :) See I needed a long int after all :D
Well I would love to be enlightened what the fix is, and how I can obtain it, I am new to this process, and haven't seen what was fixed or how.
I also am having this problem. I like Bruce Cadieux, also clicked the "don't show this again" and am getting annoying instances of konqueror opening every ~15 mins. I am using the same configureration as Keith Bremner (SUSE, KDE 3.5.4 rel 71.1). The message says I have 2% free on my home partition; when I open konqueror it says I am using 0% of my drive. (In truth am probably only using ~30%.)
I'd also like to know how to fix this - have Suse 10.1 and latest KDE, keep getting the message too!!
I have the same problem since the latest KDE update. I could not find any config option to turn the check off, is there any?
Same problem here since update on KDE 3.5.4 "release 71.1" on Suse 10.0
Does anybody know where to switch this completely off?
Hi, I have the same error :(
The fix will be available with the next update of the RPMs
I've just killed "kded" (>the KDE Daemon) and everything it's gonna be fine. Waiting for the next RPMs update... P.S. Under the ".kde" folder there is a kdedrc file, but no way to disable that disk check. There is just the way to bring back the "[...]would you like to run Konqueror[...]?" window. But now, with kded killed down, my system is ok!
The "kill kded" worked for me as well. But be aware that this may break other thinks. As Stephan Beal posted in suse-linux-e mailing list: Achtung, though: i coincidentally read a separate bug report yesterday (for kmail) which said that the problem (something to do with SSL certs not being cached) was caused by kded NOT running. kded does stuff other than report your drive space, so it shouldn't be arbitrarily killed. Here is a link to the post: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2006-Sep/3110.html Cheers Sunny
What Sunny said it's real: "kded" is used by KDE to mount automatically devices like usb-pens and is needed by Konqueror to access FTP servers and other things. That is my today's experience. "kded" can be runned again, but I don't know if it will reactivate all its functions. USB pens and FTP access do. Currently I'm working by killing and running "kded" when I need or don't need it. However, who gets Konqueror automatically opened can go to "/.kde/share/config/kdedrc" (under the user's home directory) and set "dontagainfreespace = true". The original warning message will reappear. If you consider it less annoying! I'm sure it uses less RAM than 22 or more copies of Konqueror. Oh! Another workaround is to...fill your disk until the freespace will be long as an integer! In fact, the window appeared to me just after I've cleaned my drive! What a paradox! I hope my help was appreciated again! Goodbye!
>ThE LaST SOLuTIoN After reading kded source code and that documentation "http://www.kde.org/areas/sysadmin/startup.php" in particular: "kded is a generic KDE daemon. It has the ability to load various service modules and run these in the background. Each kded service module is described by a .desktop file installed under $KDEDIR/share/services/kded/ The Service Manager in the Control Center can be used to monitor the status of the service modules and to disable certain services." >This is what to do: Using root privilegies go to "/opt/kde3/share/services/kded/" and move "medianotifier.desktop" to another place. You will not get any media insert notification, including THAT annoying window, but you will keep SSL, automount, FTP access by Konqueror...etc. Now enjoy your KDE 3.5.4! Cheers Stefano ;-)
A simpler solution than Stefano's seems to be disabling the Media Notifer Daemon in the controlcenter: KDE Components, Service Manager. This seems to have the same effect, tho notifications stop and I have noticed no other bad effects on my system.
Downloaded and installed the latest SuSE rpms. The issue is not resolved, I just got the same error message, and now KMix pops up on my screen after a restart. Very annoying. Will there be a fix for these problems in the near future?
I want to give my thanks to Stefano Aliffi, for all his information on reseting the option to display the error message and how to disable the service altogether. I myself was somewhat disappointed that one could not contorl the actions of the Media Notifer Daemon with much more granularity from within kcontrol (or any at all!). For the meantime if you are still having problems, just turn off the Media Notifer Daemon. I'm sure the KDE team has the issues corrected, and we are all just waiting for the new bug fixes to be rolled into the new Suse rpms.
They just released a new set of SuSE rpms yesterday, and the issue was not fixed. I just wanted to let them know the issue is still there, the new rpms did not correct it.
Strange, the latest set of SuSE 10.1 RPMs released 2006-09-21 seems to have fixed the problem for my environment; and I did not disable kded media notifications.
The same goes for me, Kmix and mediamanager now acts correctly!!I also checked if mediamanager is back under "/opt/kde3/share/services/kded/" and it's there, acting perfect: when I connect my cds and usb cards it notify correctly! Make sure every update was installed!
