Hi everyone,

Trying to put some books on my kindle from Calibre in Ubuntu 10.10, I have plenty of room in the Kindle, but I get:
errno 28 no space left on device:

calibre, version 0.8.18
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>IOError</b>:[Errno 28] No space left on device

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 947, in dispatch_sync_event
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 1147, in sync_to_device

File "site-packages/calibre/library/database2.py", line 1241, in copy_format_to
File "shutil.py", line 51, in copyfileobj
IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device

Thanks for your help!

That error is indicating there is no space left on whatever partition your /tmp is mounted on.
