Extracting msi: error writing: no space...
kristof-linux opened this issue · comments
Hello,
I'm trying to extract the msi-surface file using your script, but i get error writing to file: no space left on device.
Please can you help to solve this? Did i everything correct please - see attachment. Thx so much, Kristof
Yeah this is an issue I ran into yesterday too. The reason for it is that MS made these MSI packages so big they dont fit into your memory anymore (they are extracted to /tmp which is a ramdisk).
I've pushed a fix that lets it extract the MSI in the current directory instead.
Thx a lot, this worked!
Just a question for good understanding (i'm not so experienced in linux): this script will run automatically to check if there are more updates? Or how does it work exactly? Thx a lot for your help!

No, the script only extracts the .msi file that you have downloaded and "wraps" the firmware contained in it into a format usable by fwupd. It doesn't download or check anything itself. So if you want to stay up-to-date on the firmware, you'll have to occasionally check the link in the readme and see if something changed.
