Shut down & boot problem narrowed down to a month and date range

[urdrwho5]

I started thinking that I posted to Kubuntu forums about my boot and shut down problems around mid November 2014. So I thought I would give the history logs a look. Maybe someone can single out which of the updates may have started the problem.

Nov 25th 2014 -- I believe this was my first post about my problem but it may have been an update that was earlier, I just didn't notice because I don't shut down and reboot very often.

I have this same problem with 14.04.  It used to shut down as it  is supposed to but apparently somewhere along the line a daily update  messed things up.

If anyone has the knowledge or wants to read --- here is the log from Nov 17th to the end of Nov.

There are earlier logs in Nov and I am just guessing at the start date.

[urdrwho5]

I have found something that is odd and so far it seems to hold true.

When the screen comes up with the banner, if I log off then I get a full splash screen. It also seems that if I reboot from the log in screen I don't have the problems of the system hanging during reboot. I've tried it three times it is seems to work but for me to be certain, I must try it more than three times.

Then the question remains...why must I do it this way?

UPDATE

It is the next day and the trick stopped working. Errrr!!!! Well it kind of stopped ....for a while I couldn't get the logout screen on the big ugly desktop so that I could even log out. Think I'll add a new user and change automatic login to manual

[urdrwho5]

I'm giving up. I booted up a Knoppix disk and the same thing happened with the 2 inch non-usable top to bottom banner on the right side of the screen.

Booted back into XP and there is never a problem.

Linux and my old Nvidia card just don't like each other.

But wait...when I booted into Knoppix I chose the high resolution and that is the problem I am having with Kunbuntu.

Although at the moment I can't even boot into Kunbutu because I am getting a message -
call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full)

I've booted into a live CD and wondering what I can delete to make more room?

Are you sure it's not invidia? For more than a year, the oddest things happen to my, now defunct, laptop with invidia. And during all this time I taught it was ubuntu. The answer came one day, when it stopped to boot.

[oshunluvr]

Under /tmp will be some stuff you can delete - all of it actually.

You should also check your /home to make sure you own all the folders and files under it and check your available disk space.

[urdrwho5]

No because there is never a problem booting into XP.
