Hi,
I installed updates in tumbleweed. It was showing low diskspace. Now it does not boot. I do not know any command to fix this or restore to previous settings. Please help asap.
You have several options that you can apply in this situation, depending on the state of your system.
One is to boot the rescue system (on your installation dvd) and mount the filesystem which is full and clean up there.
Hopefully it will boot up after that. Otherwise you can go back in time with snapper if you used btrfs on the affected partition. (also this might be the cause of the problem in the first place, since it uses a lot of disk space for every change to the filesystem…so i prefer not to use it and do offline clonezilla images).
Did the update complete OK?
Can you boot in the previous kernel?
Was the boot process starting at all?
dont try to rollback if out of disk space, booting to another kernel will not help.
try to boot to init3.
sudo snapper list
sudo snpper rm 2-#
where # is some number that leaves the last few snapshots (ps many snapshot come in pre/post pairs. define the range so that they are removed together, the range starts at 2 since 0 and 1 cannot be removed).
if that works: sudo zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change
reboot
if you cant get to init3 you will have to mount from live disk. the problem being that deleting files does not in general release space. your better trying to remove snapshots (using btrfs or snapper, not rm) or doing a zero rebalance.
How did you install the updates.

If there is insufficient disk space in /, then it will not boot.

You do not supply necessary information. In addition to above, we need to know which file systems you are using and your drive layout.
I can guess that you have the default btrfs file system for /, and that Snapper filled your drive, but this should not be done as a guessing game.
Without that info, not only will you not get
help asap
but you may have to wait a long time for it.
Thanks to all…i will try the rescue system as i have no idea what btrfs or snapper means…i just know the basics like installing from dvd, using yast…

No idea about these technicalities. If you tell me what i should do after pressing F2 during boot process…

I installed leap 42.2 and everything is working fine for the time being
