A million bugs after updates. Can not login

[zolkin]

Yes I did. I run both commands and then reboot system. After reboot everything is exactly the same except that after entering login and password it showed the regular terminal (based on X server not ctrl+alt+F_whatever<7) and then went back to the screen with running dots

well I'm about out of ideas and time for tonight ....

what graphics card are you on?

When you are at the screen for entering your login and password, don't. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login to the command line. Then type:

df -hT --exclude-type=tmpfs --exclude-type=devtmpfs

The output will look like:

Filesystem     Type  Size  Used Avail [B]Use%[/B] Mounted on
/dev/sda5      ext4   25G  7.2G   17G  31% /
/dev/sda6      ext4   74G  3.9G   67G   6% /home

Yours will likely show different /dev/ entries.

What we want you to tell us is the percentage listed under Use% for the root partition.

Ok one more detail.

Now I tried to play with different options under login page (like try different options) an as soon as I tried to change Default to KDE plasma it went further to the screen with loading elements (hardware icon and all of that) and then it went to a desktop, but immediately crushed and showed black screen with regular crash notification : Plasma Desktop crashed unexpected. Also it showed the same for KMix.

O yes good call man ,,,,,do check that .

Ok I think we close to figure it out.
After

df -hT --exclude-type=tmpfs --exclude-type=devtmpfs

I have

File system   /dev/sda5
Type             ext4
Size             23 G
Used            22 G
Avail             0
Use%           100
Mounted on   /

[Snowhog]

As I suspected. You don't have enough space left to run your system normally. Some cleanup is in order. From the Ctrl+Alt+F1 login, type:

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove && sudo apt-get clean && sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock

Then type:

df -hT --exclude-type=tmpfs --exclude-type=devtmpfs

And report again the amount used for the root partition.

[zolkin]

After I did cleaning

Code:

File system   /dev/sda5
Type             ext4
Size             23 G
Used            22 G
Avail             260 M
Use%           99
Mounted on   /

[vinnywright]

you need to make some more room ,,,,,,,

[zolkin]

Ok. Now I am able to login and everything (at least in first approximation) works. So how can I extend the space - should I remove something or mount extra space? Do you need specification for other drives under

df -hT --exclude-type=tmpfs --exclude-type=devtmpfs

I never did it before so I guess i need a little bit more help

[Snowhog]

Okay. That means you might have more than a few kernels still installed.
In the console type:

dpkg --list | awk '/linux-image/ {print $2}'

You'll get a listing like this:

linux-image-3.11.0-12-generic
linux-image-3.11.0-13-generic
linux-image-extra-3.11.0-12-generic
linux-image-extra-3.11.0-13-generic
linux-image-generic

The latest kernel installed will be listed first. Ideally, you should have only two installed kernel versions. How many are shown in your listing?

[zolkin]

It looks like alot

bender@oneiric-vaio:~$ dpkg --list | awk '/linux-image/ {print $2}'
linux-image-3.0.0-12-generic
linux-image-3.0.0-16-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-25-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-26-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-27-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-30-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-31-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-32-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-33-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-34-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-35-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-36-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-37-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-38-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-39-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-40-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-41-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-43-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-44-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-45-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-48-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-49-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-51-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-52-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-53-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-54-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-55-generic
linux-image-generic

[Snowhog]

Yep, and they are taking up a lot of space. You only need these:

linux-image-3.2.0-54-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-55-generic
linux-image-generic

In a console type:

sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.0.0-12-generic

Repeat for each of the kernels through 3.2.0-53-generic

How I can remove old ones and which of them should i remove

Did not see ur previous post - doing it now

[zolkin]

Ok afteralll I have

bender@oneiric-vaio:~$ df -hT --exclude-type=tmpfs --exclude-type=devtmpfs
Filesystem     Type  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5      ext4   23G   18G  4.3G  81% /
/dev/sda7      ext4   46G   21G   24G  47% /home
/dev/sda9      ext4  179G   85G   86G  50% /home/media
/dev/sda8      ext4   74G   27G   43G  39% /home/work

and

bender@oneiric-vaio:~$ dpkg --list | awk '/linux-image/ {print $2}'
linux-image-3.2.0-53-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-54-generic
linux-image-3.2.0-55-generic
linux-image-generic

Thank you so much for the help

Any other recommendations?
