My karmic install locks up whenever I try to launch an application. Open office, firefox, doesn't really matter. about the only thing that works consistently is terminal.

Tried connecting a friends windows HD to pull data from it since it got impaired by a virus and something happened to the mbr and grub would not load. My computer just hung at a blinking curser...

i deleted the original backup, also deleted .openoffice.org. things seem to be better. i am a little concerned that the openoffice folder filled up after using open office twice since reinstalling.

the move of /home/charlie/backup to /media/backup is finished and /home/charlie/openoffice.org/3/user is still at 98.9%. Should I delete the .openoffice.org folder and log in again?

Ok, as it turns out my backup folder in /home/charlie was over 193gigs. So I guess that was a problem. I will report back after the move is done.

sudo fdisk -l

i made the / 20gb and /var 5gb to avoid the no space issue. i am not at home at the moment so i can't run disk analyzer. it is a very frustrating issue, an issue that should NOT be.

just reinstalled because of this very issue. 20gb for the root partition 5gigs for /var. WTF IS UP WITH THE SPACE DEAL!
