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."
I had a chat with my friend, google, and I found and followed directions here:

So far, no luck.
I can login as a user either on console or another Window manager - IceWM but not GNOME or KDE.
Ideas?
Rename the .kde and .kde4 dirs. in your /home/? dir. with something like a .org extension. Then try to login. If it works, just setup KDE again, and delete the 2 .kde.org dirs.
