startx, gnome "not enough space"

Hi everybody,

When starting gnome as normal user with xstart I get the following error:

xkbcomp:
cannot close "/tmp/server-0.xkm" properly (not enough space)"

Creating a file in /tmp as a normal user gives a not enough space error too.

These problems only occurs as normal user and not when starting xstart of creating a file as root.

Has anybody experienced the same problem? Or does anybody know a solution?

Greetings,
Joris

Re: startx, gnome "not enough space"

Hi everybody,
The problem is solved. The cache of pacman was using up all the free space on my disc. For some reason this is not shown when using the Disk Usage Analyzer in gnome. I notticed it when analyzing the disk with gdmap. Execution of pacmac -Scc solved the problem.
