Installed Gentoo Linux with KDE. Worked on it for some days without any problem. The disk became full (now deleted some files downloaded to my documents to get 1.5Gb free space). Now i can't login to Gentoo. The login screen appears when username and password is entered and press enter It never logins. just reappears.Pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 and logedin as root no commands are accessible, not even 'ls' Help needed.
Choice 1) At startup edit your booting line and include as a kernel parameter the word 'single'. That may be of some help to get a ready prompt. If you're not using GRUB (or if you've configured advanced security in GRUB), then you're on your own I guess. Lilo also allows to edit the kernel command line, I guess.
Choice 2) If you've configured rc system to be interactive, then press 'I' when booting and start _only_ extremely necessary services. That would also guarantee some ready prompt.
Choice 3) Use a LiveCD and if you _really_ need to execute anything into your installation then do it in a chroot.
Whatever your choice is, you can try the following to free up some space in your root directory:
1) Delete files under /usr/portage/distfiles. 2) `make clean' under /usr/src/*.3) Delete /usr/{share/{doc,man},src/*/Documentation} directories. Ok, this is desperate, but you can delete all that extremely useful documentation. If you can, first copy those dirs to some other media like SD or Flash to be able to recover it later.
Those items should have been given you enough space to be able to login normally (text based, please!). Now you have to see what to do to free up some more space (uninstall things or something) or give your root partition a breathe and increase it's size (you can use the tools of your FS to grow the fs: resize2fs, xfs_growfs, etc.).
