Hi David,<br>
<br>
There is a possibility that you have an issue with low disk space.<br>
If you login on the console and run<br>
<pre>df -h | egrep -v 'tmpfs|udev' &&
sudo tune2fs -l /dev/xvda1 | awk '
BEGIN { RBC=0; }
/Reserved block count|Block size/ { if ($1=="Reserved") RBC=$NF; else RBS=$NF; }
END { print RBC*RBS/1024/1024 " MegaBytes reserved for root only use";}'
</pre>
You should get output like....<br>
<pre>Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 7.4G 1.1G 6.0G 15% /
390.297 MegaBytes reserved for root only use
</pre>
You can recover some "reserved for root" space by using tune2fs but
read this page first....<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi all,
I run my laptop on ubuntu 14. Last night there were some automatic software updates from ubuntu, so I installed them, however, now I am unable to login via the gui. I can get to a console login using ctrl+alt+f1 and then login with my normal username and password, but whenI attempt to login via the gui, the X seems to crash and then bounce me back to the login screen.
Has anyone else seen this problem? I've been googling for an answer- there was a suggestion that it might be related to permissions on my .Xauthority file, but my user already has ownership permissions on that file. Any thoughts on what might have gone wrong?
thanks heaps all,
David Buddrige
