[SOLVED] black screen after filling up HDD to 100% by accident
by Janus84 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#55QP2)
Debian 10 KDE
I've been carrying some large files to transfer, when I needed to do a wireshark capture. The HDD filled up to 0b free space. I have then deleted a VM that I don't need anymore and got extra 30GB. The laptop was fine, closed it and woke up few times, then I got message that unlocking screen is broken and I won't be able to log into the DE. I have rebooted, entered encryption key, the system boots up through GRUB into black screen with a mouse cursor.
Because I could not move on, I entered tty and removed temporary files
Code:find /tmp -type f -deleteI don't think this is an issue with insufficient space anymore though.
I have Timeshift installed and have few restore points. Tried one from earlier today but getting the same black screen.
Been looking up this problem but didn't find anything useful.
Thanks for looking
edit
I just tried to run neofetch from tty and I get
Code:/usr/bin/neofetch: line 48: cannot create temp file for here-document: No space left on deviceedit
so the startx won't launch because
Code:xauth: unable to write authority file /tmp/serverauth.IPK......
xauth: unable to write authority file /home/jan/.Xauthority-nwhen I do Code:df -kI get /dev/dm-0 used 100%
I keep removing bunch of large files and I still have 0b avalable free space on /dev/dm-0
Code:$ df -k
