Public bug reported: I ran out of disk space yesterday, rebooted and could no longer log in in hardy without removing every dotfile in my home directory. By the well-known bisection method, I found that the culprit is a key in .gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/, a directory named "host- frattaglia" (frattaglia is my hostname). Removing this directory, that only contains empty files and directories, I can log in again.
Atttaching the zipped key. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [hardy] After disk space exhausted, a key is written to .gconf that disallows login and has to be manually removed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
