triaged in 2008 and still not fixed. Now the problem is worse because many people are using encrypted files and the existing solutions (e.g., deleting files to make space) no longer work because .trash file will be encrypted so you can delete all the files you want and it will no decrease the size of the disk. This is definitely a big and still as yet unaddressed problem. -- The typical user will not know how to make some free disk space when he cannot log into a graphical desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41170 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Has there been any progress on this ? There are a number of situations that can lead to a full disk (badly managed log files, backups, importing media /video unattended). A bubble will hardly prevent this kind of lockout. -- The typical user will not know how to make some free disk space when he cannot log into a graphical desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41170 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

> You get notification bubbles from gnome-volume-manager when your disk is > running low space How long has this been in place? Since Dapper? That's certainly an improvement, but having users get "locked out" when/if they do run out of disk space still seems a bit harsh. -- The typical user will not know how to "make some free disk space" when he cannot log into a graphical desktop https://launchpad.net/bugs/41170 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 41170] Re: The typical user will not know how to "make some free disk space" when he cannot log into a graphical desktop
Hi Mantas. Do you have any knowledge of how GDM/gnome-session work? For instance, why a lock file is needed (?) and where the lock file is stored (?). Creating a place-holder file under /tmp is not fool-proof, unless that is the same directory where the temporary lock file (or whatever file) is stored. The /tmp directory could have a partition mounted to it that is different from the partition where the lock file will need to be written. I wouldn't bother reporting a another bug, against gnome-session, until it is determined, for certain, where the problem exists. -- The typical user will not know how to "make some free disk space" when he cannot log into a graphical desktop https://launchpad.net/bugs/41170 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 41170] Re: The typical user will not know how to "make some free disk space" when he cannot log into a graphical desktop
Free space issue is critical to lots of users, because gdm doesn't offer an userfriendly solution for user if there are no free space. I'm suggesting improved solution for this bug, based on solutions, mentioned in gnome bug 339229: * Always keep a "place-holder file" in the user's home directory that is big enough for GDM to "do its job", so, when they log in, GDM can merely write over top of this file as it needs. * Provide some kind of "hook" that would allow each distribution to take further steps in helping an user to fix the problem. So, gdm should create place-holder file of needed size (for example ~200 kb) in /tmp after gdm starts (and display a warning message if there are no enough space for creating such file) and erase this file in /tmp before gdm starts. Also gnome-session should check for free space during login and create place-holder file (for example ~200 kb) if there are enouch space and display a warning message if there are less than ~1 Mb free space (gdm should erase place-holder file in user's home, created by gnome-session when user starts to login). Should I report a bug agains gnome-session in Ubuntu ? ** Also affects: Baltix Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- The typical user will not know how to "make some free disk space" when he cannot log into a graphical desktop https://launchpad.net/bugs/41170 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
