Mounted hard drive and now getting device full errors when updating/installing new packages
-
Thanks for the help.
Yeah, I can see that a lot of people don't recommend updating to Stretch from Jessie.
After a bit of looking, I can see that maybe my old roms on the card are still there when I boot up without the HD. Maybe the card is really full, but I can't access the other partition on Windows to delete a few things and test.
I'm guessing this might be a bit difficult to fix on a PC...

I use my smartphone with the "File-Commander" to add/delete roms.
That should be possible for you too.
Just navigate to "/localnetwork/[URL of the Pi]/roms/ "
You wont have access to everything, but at least to the rom-folders which might be the best destination to get some free space ;) -
Hmm, that's actually a pretty good idea. I have an Android phone so I can probably give that a go. Cheers!

@pastamasta i also use an Android-Phone (SONY Xperia Z5Premium). I recommend to download the "File-Manager" via the App-Store for free.
It is very useful, not only concerning the Pi ;D -
Will give it a try and tell ya how I go. Cheers mate!

Bugger. No dice. Can't get into it.
-
Just a correction: the tool is called "File Commander" ;)
I cant understand what the problem might be, i just navigate to /localnetwork/ in the file-browser and the IP of the Pi is shown there with full access.
What does happen when you do that?
Is the access denied?
Or does the Pi not show up in your local network? -
That worked! Now I'll try take off some roms and see if that makes a difference.
-
I cannot believe that actually worked! I can actually install and update stuff! Thanks you absolute legend!

You are welcome mate, i am glad it worked that simple :)
