Rarely, but it can happen that the /boot partition fills up on Linux machines, in which case it’s worth deleting the old kernels, but this isn’t always straightforward.

You can check the disk usage with the following command:

df -h

The image shows the state after cleaning, so the /boot partition is now only at 39% usage

In this case, apt-get upgrade gets interrupted during the kernel update, since there’s no more space on the partition. This constantly throws errors, and there are cases (like mine) where updates can’t run at all anymore because previous ones have failed.

Anyone who has a dedicated GMod server has probably encountered the error where the server can’t download larger addons from the workshop, showing “Download fail”.

The only solution for this is if the addon is already downloaded on your home computer as well, which you can find at the following location:

Steam/steamapps/common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/addons/

Here you can find the addon by name, which in my case looks like this:

garrys_bombs_5_base_edition_290395033.gma

Upload this to the server’s GMod addons folder, then rename it so that only the number sequence at the end remains, with a “ds_” prefix added before it:

This is for those who have installed a Vanilla forum and after a while get the “Something went wrong” error. The error is caused by Vanilla’s caching – Smarty cannot access the cache folders, so it throws an error. It doesn’t show up at first, only when Vanilla would start caching.

The permissions of the cache/Smarty/compile folder need to be set to 777. And everything else in the cache/ folder too. (just to be safe 😉 )
