However, if you have tried to delete the file and do need to free the space without logging out or restarting, for example when you have open documents that need saving and there is no more free disk space this should work:
find /proc/*/fd -type l -lname '*.xsession-errors*' 2> /dev/null this will give you a list of filenames like: /proc/12345/fd/1 /proc/54321/fd/2 You should be able to use any filename in that list and do: echo > /proc/12345/fd/1 Where "/proc/12345/fd/1" is replaced by one of those filenames. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/870138 Title: .xsession-errors fills hard drive until system crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/remmina/+bug/870138/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
