This morning I couldn't log in (KDE), but could log in at console. After a good deal of searching and experimentation I discovered that my /tmp had run out of space, and that my /tmp/kde-eddie was 689MB! Can anyone say why kde-eddie should have grown to that size? How can I prevent a reoccurrence? By removing kde-eddie I can log in now and everything seem fine (so far). Any thoughts, anyone?
Have you had a crash while working on a large file? Also, there are session logs in there which can get big sometimes, especially if you don't clean out /tmp very often. You can set lifetimes on the contents in yast>system>sysconfig - I have mine emptied at boot and have never yet had a problem, although it depends how you use it of course so YMMV Dylan
Thanks
