Folks,
I need your help - my machine needed a reboot, but never woke up from
it, instead
"The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been
installed correctly"
and as a result i get a b/w welcome window for the login screen, shared
with a shell prompt, and no working state whatsoever.
I did some poking around, and Google said it had to do with space on my
root partition, and indeed:
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 224G 213G 0 100% /
none 995M 240K 995M 1% /dev
none 1000M 0 1000M 0% /dev/shm
none 1000M 124K 999M 1% /var/run
none 1000M 0 1000M 0% /var/lock
none 1000M 0 1000M 0% /lib/init/rw
fdisk gets me this and quits before i can do anything about:
fdisk /dev/sda1
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF
disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x685be124.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to
switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to
sectors (command 'u').
Command (m for help): Command (m for help): Command (m for help):
got EOF thrice - exiting..
As of now, i have no access to this machine other than good ol ssh, and there
is nothin in /home/[users] that could make up for that space,
Moreover only 3 accounts exists, and i have checked them all, nothing space
consuming as
Working Details:
Machine Function - Server/local Mirror
Access - FTP and GUI
OS - Ubuntu Linux 10.04.1
Kernel and CPU - Linux 2.6.32-25-server on x86_64
Anything i might have missed? any solutions?
