Mint cinnamon won't boot due to full RAM?
by Flynx from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5N7JB)
Hi all,
I run mint 19 on a surface pro 4. I have crashed my computer because I was looking for a qgis project which suddenly disappeared. I tried time shift (did not work to find files BUT I changed the setting to higher frequenz-bad idea)) and then used testdisk (did maybe work,I could not open the large qgis file)
This all filled up the space and after shutting the pc down it does not boot. I get to a black screen where password ist asked but not accepted.
I can get I to discovery mode and tried
Sudo apt clean
Apt autoremove
Even tried sudo tune2fs -m0 /dev/sda2 to set down this 5% running space.
All did not work.
Still I can not login in even I type in right password.
I don't know if I can start live USB, since I am not sure if I can handle the surface and linux for it (a friend set it up for me).I just heard it was difficult.
Any ideas what I can do?
Also I am quite a newbie on console.
