[plug] .xsession-errors

[Chris Caston]

Hello,

I just had a similar problem again. I noticed my machine was being a
little non-responsive. Then I started getting errors on the app that I
was using that it couldn't save various settings because the device was
full.

df confirmed that it had reached 100% capacity again.

The system was unusable by now so I I had restart X. I opened up a
virtual terminal and soon found that offending file to be in /tmp

There I found a 20gb file named: fileXrlwX5

catting the file showed a long list of lines saying:

[00000213] Main input error : ES does not belong to this input.


Now that I think about it now that is not the same thing that came up
when I tailed the file. I forgot to save what it said (sorry) but I
remember something about kdeinit.

I deleted the file already.

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?

thanks,

Chris
