You can verify that the file system is full with df -h / assuming /root is full and this is causing your X windows and other services not being able to write to places like /tmp. If you indeed find that the filesystem is full. you can search for large files like so. find /path -size +1000000k (files over 1GB or close enough). So if you believe it to be in /var find /var -size +1000000k .
