Whether the filesystem is mounted readonly or perhaps something else is preventing write access to /tmp.
Bug#918574: FATAL gnome-shell loops on boot filling up syslog
Package: gnome-shell Version: 3.30.1-2 Testing 4.19.0-1 (buster amd64) Cannot boot my laptop. gnome-shell fills up syslog with these messages. There may be some typo's as I had to write this down and go to the local library. gnome-shell[1458]: failed to bind to /tmp/.X11-unix/X1024: No such file or directory gnome-shell[1458]: failed to bind to /tmp/.X11-unix/X1025: No such file or directory These repeat with the X number increasing by one until I remove the battery and then restart in recovery mode. The last lines are as follows:- gnome-shell[1458]: failed to bind to /tmp/.X11-unix/X120805: No such file or directory gnome-shell[1458]: failed to bind to /tmp/.X11-unix/X120806: No such file or directory kernel:[ 134.986875] do.trap: 14 callbacks suppressed kernel:[ 134.986878] traps: gnome-shell[1458] trap int3 ip:7fe777dd4be5 sp:7ffdcca78120 error:0 in libglib-2.0.so.5800.2[7fe777d9c000+7e00] gnome-shell[1458]: failed to bind to /tmp/.X11-unix/X120807: No such file or directory gnome-shell[1458]: failed to bind to /tmp/.X11-unix/X120809: No such file or directory gnome-shell[1458]: failed to write pid to lock file /tmp/.X120810-lock gnome-shell[1458]: Failed to create an X lock file gnome-shell[1458]: Failed to start X Wayland Please fix this ASAP. My laptop is dead in the water. TIA, Robert
