Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
I briefly see my desktop, then get dumped back to the login prompt with
no error. Logging in from console still works.
At minimum, gdm needs to throw an error saying that you can't log in
because the disk is full, and that you can do so by hitting ctrl-alt-f1
and logging into the console.
I initially thought this matched bug #35217, but it was closed "fix
released" two yeas ago with "Adding the ability for GDM to handle this
is a different bug."
I haven't looked into this bug much, but it seems like it really should
be possible, and entirely worth while, to come up with some way to
reserve the space necessary to allow login. Possibly by doing whatever
filesystem activity is necessary within a pre-allocated file?
