fails to build with gui module on Raspberry Pi4

[artfulbodger]

Build results in BUILD FAILED!

Reviewing the stout the fail occurs when running the command
apt-get install -y --force-yes matchbox-window-manager xorg lightdm xinput

from the gui module I get multiple

error processing archive ....... : failed to write (No space left on device)

after the Build fails the output from df- h indicates over 300 GB for free storage, might this be an inode error for the quantity of files being written?

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 1.6G 0 1.6G 0% /dev

tmpfs 380M 44K 380M 1% /run/user/1000

dist config file contains:

export MODULES="base(network,mysql,gui,ianseopi)"

removing gui module does not result in the build failure.

any suggestions what we need to change @guysoft ?

Hey,
Apologies for not replying on the first message. I am really swamped in my life and I sometimes miss messages.

The error is:

(No space left on device)

It means you are building on an image and the space runs out. I guess you added more stuff and now there is no enough space.

Set in your config file for the distro BASE_IMAGE_ENLARGEROOT to a larger size so you don't run out of space.

Here is a live example from FullPageOS:

Here is the definition with lots of other settings you might need too (for example resizing back after you finished buiding):
https://github.com/guysoft/CustomPiOS/blob/devel/src/modules/base/config#L69

I noticed you used "we" there. Just taking the opportunity to note that CustomPiOS is 100% free software, I do it in my free time and no one pays me to do it. If you are part of an organization that CustomPiOS or my other projects is helping, please consider making a donation, the link is on the README.

Hope it helps you and that ianseopi would be awesome, post if something else is not working
