[SOLVED] opera-developer-ffmpeg-codecs fails to install

i am facing a strange issue when i am trying to install opera-developer-ffmpeg-codecs from aur, it pulls the chromium package successfully but while extracting with bsdtar it runs out of memory. i also tried to extract the chromium archive manually and again it runs out of memory during extraction.
however df -h shows that i have a tmpfs which is 8G big (i increased it to this size temporary according to the arch wiki) and only filled up around 30%, i even cleaned it up still no luck.
does the extraction take place via another tmpfs directory (i have /dev/shm and /sys/fs/cgroup both 1.7G)? wouldn't get the other tmpfs directory automatically used?
or what could it be? my RAM is only 4G big but even that should be enough right? it's just strange, when i am doing this in GUI gnome crashes after a while and the system hangs completely, in CLI it fails with the above described messages.

Re: [SOLVED] opera-developer-ffmpeg-codecs fails to install

So you have 4Gigs of ram and 8G tmpfs created? Don't you see a problem there?

coming from a swap partition i thought, the bigger the better especially as i ran out of mem before.
but i might have taken your hint. my system basically thinks now it has 8G of RAM and therefore runs out of it before swapping?

I don't know whether tmpfs uses swap but I'm pretty sure it will push everything from memory out to swap if you have the settings too high.

Btw do you use any AUR helper? Have you tried plain makepkg -si

Re: [SOLVED] opera-developer-ffmpeg-codecs fails to install

update: i tried to shrink it down to 4G, gave the same error. halfed it down to 2G and it went definitely further but when extracting it failed because it could not write anymore and /tmp was 100% full.  3G gave again the same error as 4G.
i am using yaourt and will now try to makepkg -si

update 2: a git pull to my home directory + makepkg -si did the trick. the installation went on successfully. the opera developer folder became 3G big.

i will mark this as solved now and thank you ugjka for your help!
