Hi there,
I've been running 10.04 LTS (loaded using Wubi alongside Win 7 Home Premium) since late last year, with minimal problems and have thoroughly enjoyed it.
However: Within the past month or so soon after logging in I've been receiving a "Low Disk Space" warning followed by the amount remaining. First 872.6 Mb (or so) lowering slowing and sporadically to just under 400Mb.
I gained some space by removing photos and music but the space loss continued. Saturday, the amount remaining was 315.2 at log-in and within minutes, while I was just reading a small text file, another warning popped up indicating I had only 36 Mb remaining. I hadn't downloaded, updated or upgraded a thing during that session. I searched for other large files to remove and finding none I logged off and shut it down.
Since then when I boot up to Ubuntu I get a box with the message " Install Problem- The configuration defaults for Gnome Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your administrator." It allows me to enter my password but when I hit "enter", returns me to the same screen (which is graphically different than log-in screen was when things were OK). I tried booting to an earlier Kernel, with the same results.
I'm a noobie (and often Numb- I neither backed up my files nor wrote down my Firefox passwords) and don't have much experience using terminal, which I can access using safe mode. Ideally I would like to get it back up and running. However, I would settle for getting my data, especially Firefox passwords. Hope I wasn't too verbose here but wanted to include as much detail as I could. Thanks for any/all assistance. Bud
