If you type ls -alh /tmp what does your system throw out? It appears that curl, a system utility used to download the installer, can’t write to the tmp directory or sub dir for for some reason.

screen shot, I had to install curl very early as i got a curl not recognized message it had a script to install it. [rs ls -]

Sorry, it’s ls -alh /tmp. You’ve shown the contents of your home directory instead. It’s the /tmp directory that curls trying to use that interests me.

BTW you appear to be logged in as root already so sudo shouldn’t be necessary…

Yep, ubuntu rookie, I had tried both as Root and no root log in got same error on both, but yes should not have put sudo in command when I was loged in as root. Here’s /tmp read out [rs tmp]

So nothing jumps out there, you’re ok for disk space? Try df - h and then you know the drill :wink:

disk space looks fine. Only a 32 GB ssd but only minimal ubuntu install, HQP and roonserver. so should easily fit on 32gb drive. I’m only using 12-13gb

I searched and found a post that said snap curl is useless so I uninstalled and did, sudo apt install curl Now it writes and says I need FFMPEG which I have installed as per the linux roon article, but I also need mount.cifs command. I am not sure how to do that one.
