from the login window press <CTL>+<<ALT>+F2 to get a terminal

login then


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

then <CTL>+<<ALT>+F7 to get back to the gdm login and try again

I had the same problem is was solved by making the partition with Ubuntu installed larger because it had run out of free space.

Can you do that? You could also try deleting extra files from the command line.

Good luck

it is indeed the problem that my harddisk is running out of space.

okee, looking who is the culprit

sudo du -s * | sort -nr | head shows that it is in the media dir, so there are my ntfs partitions mounted


one of the partitions is 9 gig big, how can that be,

maybe i mounted it wrong or so ?
can anybody help me please

thanks

i did it

:popcorn:


i mounted the drive to another mounting point.

then i unmounted all the drives

then i saw that the previous mount was still 9 gig bigs

i deleted it with force

rm -rf

my ubuntu is up and running again, i'm gonna check if something is flooding my harddisk

thanks guys
