I’m trying to update DietPi from v8.18.2 to v8.20.1 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ but I get the following error:
G_CHECK_FREESPACE: Invalid integer from df result
By the error I’m assuming that I don’t have enough free space but the only thing I have installed is PiHole so I should have enough? I really don’t know how to check if I have enough tough.
The microSD card that I have has a 8 Gb capacity.
Can you show the output of df -h please.
You can also check capacity and used space with dietpi-drive_manager.
This would be a different error message. Can you check following
G_CHECK_FREESPACE /
Yes looks like a dying SD card.
Can you try following
apt install --reinstall coreutils
df -h
BTW: no need to do screen prints. You should be able to copy/past everything directly from SSH terminal.
Sorry, Putty wasn’t allowing me to copy/paste. (Apparently there’s a trick to it)
After the first command the df -h works now:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 7.2G 2.2G 4.7G 33% /
devtmpfs 446M 0 446M 0% /dev
tmpfs 480M 1.5M 479M 1% /dev/shm

tmpfs 50M 36K 50M 1% /var/log
/dev/mmcblk0p1 127M 32M 95M 26% /boot
Running dietpi-update now works without that error, but I think it’s a better idea to just get a new SD card and fresh install DietPi there. Who knows what more is corrupted and when will it happen again.
I already made backups of the settings that I changed so nothing is lost, only time to re-configure everything again xD
Thanks for the help.
Normally Putty supports copy/paste text ootb. Simply select the text in the Putty window and it is automatically copied to the clipboard. No additional keys need to be pressed.
