[solved[X superlaggy after hd went out of space, but only for one user

idjut · 2010-07-03 08:50:34

So the netbook (eeepc 1101ha) went out of diskspace while running and froze. I freed up some space and restarted X, but it failed so I rebooted. Same story then. It either loads and becomes super slow or doesn't load at all. I use dwm wm which to my knowledge doesn't save to config files that might have been corrupted during the moment with no diskspace. Other wms have same problems too, but only for that user.

Here are some lines from /var/log/Xorg.0.log/

Any ideas?

Nobody?

Open a terminal and show us the output of "df -h"

Out of space where and how? Does it work well if you create a new user and try the same things?

I have created a new user that runs dwm and openbox nicely, neither work on the "modified" one. Also a third old user is unaffected

Your /home partition is full. Delete/move some files

Well that would apply for all of the users, they share the same /home. Besides it has 309 megs free. Not a lot, but enough?

R00KIE · 2010-07-05 20:34:26

You really should free some space, also try to delete/rename all configuration files and any saved sessions from the time you ran out of space.

idjut · 2010-07-08 19:59:51

Which configuration files would be wise to rename then? Dwm doesn't use any as far as I know. And .xinitrc looks ok. What others might have been corrupted?

R00KIE · 2010-07-08 20:35:57

I'm not familiar with DWM but I would look inside ~/.local ~/.config and ~/.cache , maybe something is stored there.
If that doesn't work you may try moving all the hidden stuff to a backup folder and start the X session again.

Something must be causing that and most probably it's some dot file stashed away inside one of those dot directories (you say new users work just fine so it's not a system problem).

Apart from this I'm out of ideas, once I had XFCE (I know its not the same) act really strange and the problem was related with some corrupted saved session file, once I deleted it everything was fine again.

Didn't work! Any other tips, ideas?

Sorry, it did work after rebooting. Strangely enough. I think .opera was the perpetrator.
