On my son's laptop, I went to reboot this morning. (I was trying to see why I couldn't connect via ssh.) On boot, I got a message that /tmp was full and that the desktop manager would not start.
What do I do? It won't let me login.

Boot the "failsafe" mode, or, failing that, boot from a CD/DVD and select the "rescue" system. Then locate the /tmp partition and clean it up.
Boris.
Okay, this seems to be a little more of an issue. I deleted - as root - all files in /tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp
On boot, after selecting which user to login with, I get the message, "Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your installation."
So far, no luck.
I can login as a user either on console or another Window manager - IceWM but not GNOME or KDE.
Ideas?
Kai, Yes same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. Worked on it for days. I do not remember the details. At the time I was fooling around with videos and very large graphics files. Seems I was filling the trash (maybe in root trash?) and the files were hidden? (because I didn't look there?) Dont ask me why or how I got rid of them. Just don't remember.Just an idea.
