Re: Problem after running portupgrade
Hi Chris, Tks for your advice. Look into /var/log for a list of files like this example: cron.0.bz2 maillog.1.bz2 sendmail.st.0 cron.1.bz2 maillog.2.bz2 sendmail.st.1 Note the bz2 extensions and the files that have digits at the end. Chances are you may have many. You can delete these if you wish. ls /var/log/ XFree86.0-1.log messages.0.bz2 XFree86.0-2.log messages.1.bz2 XFree86.0-2.log~messages.2.bz2 XFree86.0-3.log messages.3.bz2 XFree86.0.log messages.4.bz2 XFree86.0.log.old messages.5.bz2 XFree86.0.log~ mount.today XFree86.8-1.log ppp.log XFree86.8.log ppp.log.0.bz2 XFree86.8.log.old ppp.log.1.bz2 XFree86.8.log~ ppp.log.2.bz2 auth.logppp.log.3.bz2 auth.log.0.bz2 ppp.log~ cronppp.yd_040225 cron.0.bz2 scrollkeeper.log cron.1.bz2 security cron.2.bz2 sendmail.st cron.3.bz2 sendmail.st.0 cupssendmail.st.1 debug.log sendmail.st.10 dmesg.today sendmail.st.2 dmesg.yesterday sendmail.st.3 kdm.log sendmail.st.4 lastlog sendmail.st.5 lpd-errssendmail.st.6 maillog sendmail.st.7 maillog.0.bz2 sendmail.st.8 maillog.1.bz2 sendmail.st.9 maillog.2.bz2 setuid.today maillog.3.bz2 setuid.yesterday maillog.4.bz2 slip.log maillog.5.bz2 userlog maillog.6.bz2 wtmp maillog.7.bz2 xdm.log messagesxferlog I am going to delete following files; /var/log/ messages.0.bz2 messages.1.bz2 messages.2.bz2 messages.3.bz2 messages.4.bz2 messages.5.bz2 ppp.log.0.bz2 ppp.log.1.bz2 ppp.log.2.bz2 ppp.log.3.bz2 auth.log.0.bz2 cron.0.bz2 cron.1.bz2 cron.2.bz2 cron.3.bz2 sendmail.st.1 sendmail.st.10 sendmail.st.2 sendmail.st.3 sendmail.st.4 sendmail.st.5 sendmail.st.6 sendmail.st.7 sendmail.st.8 sendmail.st.9 maillog.0.bz2 maillog.1.bz2 maillog.2.bz2 maillog.3.bz2 maillog.4.bz2 maillog.5.bz2 maillog.6.bz2 maillog.7.bz2 Any comment ???

Re: Problem after running portupgrade
Hi Remko, Tks for your advice. It says to you that the var drive is full, the var drive keeps logs etc so pretty crucial that it has some space. Go to /var/log and check which files are a bit big and rotate them. You can do that by entering single user mode, mount the /var, go to /var/log, type `ls -lh' it gives you the filesizes Some file has to be what bigger then the rest, so we need to clean it a bit. Mount the /usr drive and create the directory /usr/tmp (since that drive has a lot of space left), now mv /var/log/$bigfilename /usr/tmp/ and touch /var/log/$bigfilename (So that it does exist). It is not the files on /var/log/ taking up space but following files on /var/tmp/ # ls -lh total 192544 -rw-r--r-- 1 satimis wheel 2.3M May 14 22:26 tmp.0.QQlif7 -rw-r--r-- 1 satimis wheel 2.3M May 14 22:24 tmp.0.dr0vBP -rw-r--r-- 1 satimis wheel 2.3M May 15 15:58 tmp.0.kDy79T -rw-r--r-- 1 satimis wheel 2.3M May 14 22:29 tmp.0.lu8h4X -rw-r--r-- 1 satimis wheel 26M May 14 22:26 tmp.1.Egne6s -rw-r--r-- 1 satimis wheel 72M May 14 22:25 tmp.1.JW15qD -rw-r--r-- 1 satimis wheel 32M May 14 22:29 tmp.1.nNXAdw -rw-r--r-- 1 satimis wheel 48M May 15 15:59 tmp.1.xygGQv . I have no idea what they are and when they were created. # df Filesystem 1K-blocksUsedAvail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad4s1a253678 45872 18751220%/ devfs 1 10 100%/dev /dev/ad4s1e2536784672 228712 2%/tmp /dev/ad4s1f 36354884 4807654 2863884014%/usr /dev/ad4s1d253678 57664 17572025%/var If you reboot now the system will come up and i guess that the things are starting to work again. The Failure of gnome is too less space on /var i think, After rebooting the PC, Gnome revived. Still have some minor problems, such as on KDE desktop Konsole window, selected fonts unable to save (saving settings having no function) The portsclean package? What's that? Search the internet 'portsclean' is an utility of 'portupgrade'. Very powerful taking about 5 minute to complete on my slow system. Now it got lost. I think I have to reinstall 'portupgrade' Try changing your settings in Konsole now, perhaps there is enough space now. Still having problem. Please see above. Tks again for your advice. B.R.
