I have a dual-boot system with windows xp and suse 11.2. The last time tried to enter to suse i couldn’t login to my account ,only as root. I tried to solve this through suse dvd repair option andit detected a problem in grub. i repaired it but still nothing.Also the /home partition exists and i can access it when i login as root.
Any thoughts?
- don’t log into the GUI as root. Bad mojo. All sorts of problems can happen.
See if you can log in as yourself from the command line.
Press 3 at the boot screen then boot.
log in as your self
Report result, also what desktop.
Note if by chance an errant process has filled up your PCs / , you could have these symptoms. I once had a 1TB / filled up in just over 24 hours by a bad process (and my own silliness).
Next time you login , type:
df -Th
to see how much space you have left in /home
it turns out temp folder was bigger than i thought. root directory was 100% full. everything is ok now.THANKS
By default SuSE does not empty files in /tmp. You can clean /tmp with every boot by opening the file /etc/sysconfig/cron as root and edit the line
CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOTUP="no"
Change the “no” to “yes” and /tmp will not bother you anymore.
