Login Problems..Please Help!

[Guest]

When I try to login to kubuntu I keep getting dumped right back to the same login screen! My password is correct and everything. I need to know how I can get back into my computer to make it work again!

Peas help! I'll make you muffins!

You almost certainly have a space problem. Reboot and select the recovery (single user) boot option. This will log you in as root and put you at the command line. Once there, type:

df -hTxtmpfs

What you are concerned with, is the reported Use% on your / (root) and /home (if you have a separate /home partition). Tell me what is reported.

I dont know how to select recovery...pretty much I am at a command line now that says

violetstar@violetstar-laptop:~$

I typed in what you said and nothing happens

When you boot your PC, you should be presented with the boot menu (Grub). But, you may not have the option set to actually see it, and it boots into the first boot menu item automatically. But, that you are at the command line anyway, we can proceed. The ~$ indicates that you are logged in as your normal user (non-root). So, in order to run the command I gave you, precede it with sudo:

sudo df -hTxtmpfs

After you type in your requested password, you will get the output for review.
