[SOLVED] Gnome3 doesn't Start - disk full?

Hello,
as I start my Laptop, Gnome doesn't load. I switch via strg alt f2 to terminal. Login without problems.
vim .xinitrc gives write error in swap file.
sudo pacman -Syu says partition / too full
df -h says enough space...
See all output in images including fatstab and lsblk

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The df output clearly says your / partition is full. There's your issue.

Well clean up your / and find out what's taking so much space ncdu is a good utility for that, one default place to check is the pacman cache or the systemd journal, which can grow really big if left unattended.

Also the "still enough space" you see in df -h is the default safety provision reserved for ensuring to keep the system booting and you still able to react to it.

Crazy, removed pacman cache, 35gb more space. Thank you both
