Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
Is the / partition is full, it's impossible to log in, and to solve the
problem.
Someone who knows how to use the command line will maybe be able to
solve the problem (providing he knows what's going on!), but other users
are left with no info, and no way to solve it. It's a blocker problem to
me, as the user cannot use its computer anymore.
There is another bug report similar to this one, but it's related to an
upstream bug report nobody is working on... Plus the status is
"wishlist", just like if it was a minor problem when a user cannot use
his computer anymore.
I'm also reporting this because the problem happened to a friend who
knows nothing about how Ubuntu is working. Until now, she was very happy
about Ubuntu: working quickly, letting her connect her iPhone and upload
music on it without a problem, managing photos easily. She had to call
me because her "computer is broken". This problem left her without any
idea of what was the problem and how to solve it. Very very bad
advertisement for Ubuntu in my opinion.
