Solved Bless Hex Editor - There is not enough free space on the device to save file

The xml config file isn’t closed correctly and the parsing of the parameters doesn’t work. There is a method around it:

  • Edit the file: /home/user/.config/bless/preferences.xml

    <preferences>
        <pref name="ByteBuffer.TempDir">/tmp</pref> <!-- add this -->
        ...
        <pref name="Default.Layout.File"/>
    </preferences> <!-- Add this -->

    And make that file readonly, this way it won't get modified each time you restart bless.

Note: You won't be able to modify the preferences from the bless editor, you will have to edit the config file by yourself.

Another method is to rebuild Bless, applying a patch: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bless/+bug/1622951
