[LINUX] ERROR: Not enough available disk space
Steps to reproduce
- Fill up you home or root disk
- Try to download a game
- Watch your dreams shattering
Expected behavior
The game is downloaded and installed properly
Screenshots
No response
System Information
- OS POP!_OS
- Heroic Version 2.3.10
Additional information
The problem is most likely that gamefiles are downloaded to the home disk rather than the install disk. The game is also marked as installed, even if its not. Uninstalling also doesnt do anything.
Are you sure the installation path is correct set to the partition, that has enough disk space? Else if the partition does not have space either, this is correct. Provide screenshots and logs with installation path set to the partition with enough space.
This only happens for Linux games. It's the way installers work at this moment. .sh installer is being downloaded into cache directory, unpacked there and files are being moved into correct location.
This will be solved by refactor I am preparing for gogdl, since that will use new way of downloading Linux native games, allowing to also update individual files instead of redownloading whole games over and over.
As a workaround you can symlink the heroicGOGdl folder to another drive.
This seemed to work on my steamdeck, the paths will be different on other platforms and will depend on if you are using the flatpack version or not.
cd ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/cache
rm -rfv heroicGOGdl
ln -s /run/mmcblk0p1/heroicGOGdl .
mkdir -p /run/mmcblk0p1/heroicGOGdl
Confirming I have gotten this issue too on my Steam Deck. Linux native version of X4 Foundations. 17GB install size. Only had 9GB free on internal storage. 100+GB on SD card where I chose to install it. Got a "Not enough space" warning. A X4 install .sh file was in the GOGdownloadcache folder on the internal drive. Freed some space on internal, and the install went through fine. Hopefully the cache location can be changed in the future. Haven't tried symlink yet but kinda lazy.
In the latest update (2.6.2), the changelog says "[Linux] Fix not being able to download native GOG games", so i guess its refering to this case. Nevertheless it still isn´t working, i still have the same issue as described above.

That entry in the change log does not refer to this problem (we had a bug that native GOG games couldn't be installed for another problem, not a problem with disk space)
I think I have the same problem on Steam Deck installing.
I was installing a
- Linux native game from GOG
- to SD card
- Home partition is practically full
The download started. There was enough room on the SD card, but the install failed with an ungraceful error loop. Dismissing the error with the only available button (the X in the corner) brings it right back. Canceling the install is difficult as a result. The home directory became full in the process and seems to be the source of the error.
Relevant screenshots below.
For me heroic v2.10.0 gave this error message and the issue was also flatpak but not the cache, it just couldn't install to the target directory while complaining about disk space, with 7TB free. I suppose this is a common flatpak thing that you just have to give apps access to filesystem locations separately (and imo they should make this more user-friendly), but since heroic is aware it's running under flatpak the error message could be made better, claiming that user is out of disk space is confusing.
My issue was solved by flatpak override --user --filesystem=/media/user/drive/path com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl
