/tmp full
I am unable to start KDE because my /tmp is full. I deleted the files that I thought I could and there are only two or three left but I am still getting an error that my /tmp is full. How can I see how much space /tmp has allocated and how much is free? How can I increase the amount of space /tmp has?

Re: /tmp full
/tmp is only full because / has no more room left, its full. I had this problem and went into /opt and rm'd star office.
