Derek White proposed the following answer:
Did your session really last less than 10 seconds?
Can you get into your Desktop now? At all since you go the error?
Can you get into the Desktop with the failsafe session?
They are refering to using dpkg/apt-get to free disk space. By default
Synaptic and apt-get both tell dpkg to save any packages you have
downloaded from the internet for upgrades.
To remove these files:
Enter recovery console (by hitting escape when grub is about to start - it
prompts you) OR enter a failsafe session from the login screen.
At the recovery console: select the option to go into a root prompt. In the
failsafe mode: open a terminal via Applications > Accessories > Terminal. Then
run:
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get clean
(From the recovery console you do not need to precede the commands with
sudo.)
Recovery console: Type exit to return to the options and select the option to
continue booting normally.
Failsafe session: Log out & log back in normally.
Does the error still occur? If not, check your disk space with
Applications > Accessories > Disk Usage Analyzer and look for anything
you should delete. Got 100 movies somewhere? Back them up somewhere else
or get rid of them. Forgot to remove that 4.3 GB DVD iso? Delete it or
burn it! You get the idea.
If disk space is not your problem, then let us know! Good luck.
