[12:46] I noticed, that I canot copy anything to my home-dir. It says disk full. [12:47] but 'df -h' says /dev/sda1 97% [12:47] so it is not competly full [12:47] do you have seperate partitions? [12:47] I already removed some files. [12:48] what partitions besides sda1 are listed? [12:48] vprints: no [12:48] none's [12:50] did you also do the "sudo apt-get autoremove" ?

[12:58] you could move something in your home directory to external medium [12:58] Hi folks [13:00] vprints: I already tried to add an external harddisk, but could not access it [13:01] vprints: and as root i could neither do it [13:01] But I will tr to move some data from home to /var [13:04] qwertz: that will not help if you only have one partition [13:05] qwertz: how could you not access the external disk? [13:06] It said, that I have not enough rights to access /media/disk [13:12] can you tell me how you mounted it? [13:12] I thought ios was mounted automatically [13:12] if no graphical environment then you have to mount it manually [13:13] ;) [13:13] i guess there is Your problem [13:13] ha, okay [13:14] but I already removed some files, so I don't thinki, that it will fix my problem to move some files on external disk. [13:16] I think something is wrong in my home dir. [13:16] well. 3 % free is not enough for normal work [13:16] so you have to remove something *anyway* [13:16] remember that some percentage of a file system is reserved for the root user when it fills up [13:16] yes, sure, but I would prefere to remove something with the gui. [13:17] qwertz: did you try rebooting? [13:17] yes, I did several times. [13:23] I tried to create another user [13:24] and he could log in.

Shouldn't that exclude them from ever starting? [14:52] yes [14:52] make sure you have them listed in the textbox I mentioned [14:52] haha sorry, I asked two questions [14:53] BluesKaj, so why do I have to use previous session? (or do I not?)

[15:00] haha yes, but that seems silly :) [15:01] why/ [15:01] ?
