Hi
Looking through the wiki, I read about clearing space on my ATV2
After entering df -k via SSH i got :
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/disk0s1s1 612344 542352 63872 90% /
devfs 27 27 0 100% /dev
/dev/disk0s1s2 7170056 2069224 5100832 29% /private/var

There is alot of stuff in /private/var/cache/apt/archives/
Can I safely delete it ALL?

Thanks for any advice.

try

Code:
apt-get clean

apt-get autoclean

apt-get autoremove

Not sure of the cause of this problem, but perhaps it is related to the lack of space on my internal flash drive? Just checked it, and it's at 100%

I read through the FAQ's, and found this entry:

4.10 Not enough space/memory
Shortcut: #Disk_space
Have you run out of space on your ATV2? Check with (via SSH) the df -k command. If any /dev/disk* filesystems are at 100%, use du -h / to see what's taking up space. or to show which files are, for example, bigger then 9 Mb do find / -size +9000b
First places to check are:
/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/packages
/private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/LocalAndRental
/private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/Other
/private/var/cache/apt/archives/
See also #Thumbnails for saving space with smaller thumbs or moving them to a network location.

I can find these files.

My question:
1) Which files can I delete? Can they all be erased without undue harm? If not, how can I determine the appropriate files to remove?
2) While I still want to clear space, will that help the issues I noted above?

Thanks!

That's the link I was on, just wanted to check what's safe to delete in :
/private/var/cache/apt/archives/

If it's in the WiKi, you can have faith Wink

I have done all of the above only to still have huge files in User/library/caches/com.apple.lauchservices-045csstore also can I delete lockcache-encryptedA.db as it contains 108kb

kb is nothing dude. You need to find stuff which has a couple of MB or even GB ... (freeing 108kb of space is not even enough to save a full hd jpeg image...)

After entering the command as suggested (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBM...e.2Fmemory) I'm getting a message - No such file or directory.
I have no experience programming ATV2. I guess I have to be specific on the file name and instead of XBM... enter the real file name. Tried everything but nothing works.
Can anybody help? This is my space report:
No such file or directory

How do I get rid of all these files, especially the one that is 697 Meg?

Not sure in which folder you are ... but from the wiki you would need to do:

Code:
rm -r /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/LocalAndRental/*

rm -r /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/Other/*

rm -r /private/var/cache/apt/archives/*

Be really carefull "Jacobs-MacBook-Air" this suggests you are on your macbook air - you need to ssh into the atv2 before deleting files else you might end up deleting files from your macbook air in accident.

Thank you very much for you response and for the warning.
I did these 3 command (and the ssh), but looks like only the 3-rd worked.

Apple-TV:~ root# rm -r /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/LocalAndRental/*
rm: cannot remove `/private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/LocalAndRental/*': No such file or directory
Apple-TV:~ root# rm -r /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/Other/*
rm: cannot remove `/private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/Other/*': No such file or directory
Apple-TV:~ root# rm -r /private/var/cache/apt/archives/*
Apple-TV:~ root#

When I go to nitoTV and try to install Kodi 14.1 I'm getting the following message (at least it doesn't complain about space anymore)

"The following NEW packages will be installed:

org.xbmc.kodi-seatbeltunlock

0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 41 not upgraded

E:Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing"

Do you have any idea what that means?

enter

apt-get update

That didn't work:

Apple-TV:~ root# apt-get update
E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing.
Apple-TV:~ root#

mkdir /var/cache/apt/archives/partial && apt-get autoclean && apt-get update

Did everything and more... When I got the message that it's setting up kodi 14-1 the box disconnected from the TV. The light on the box is flashing, but the TV says "No source input". Did a soft restart (menu + down) and powered off for a few minutes, but it still doesn't connect. Any guesses?
