Re: root directory

Yes my drive is a terabyte, so plenty of space. How do I expand the root without having to reinstall?

Thanks

Code: Select all

$ ls -l /tmp/something*
ls: cannot access '/tmp/something*': No such file or directory
Unfortunately not. This is what I got on first boot this morning.

Re: root directory

Just to put this little item totally to bed, run this command in a terminal: sudo ls -l /tmp/system* Show us the results. If there are no results, then restart the computer. We would expect it will not say Error opening directory '/tmp/systemd-private-6439684ed75042f....:permission denied since the...

Re: root directory

Hello. You can run this command: sudo rm -rf /tmp/system* from any location in a terminal. So just do Ctrl-Alt-t to start a terminal and enter that command. Before you do that you can do: sudo ls -l /tmp/system* in any terminal to see what is being deleted. In my case it is just 5 empty tmp directo...

Re: root directory

Unfortunately the issue persists. I got the same error on boot this morning. Is this a system problem. Am I going to need to wipe the drive to reinstall? I have no way of logging as root. At least I do not see an option for root. I can open any number of directories under file system as root. But I ...

Re: root directory


You could try

Code: Select all

sudo rm -rf /tmp/system*
I just did it and nothing happened. (except I did it logged in as root, it might not work with sudo
I did not have to log in as root. I did it and it must have removed something. Just went to the next line. So is this sorted now?

Re: password manager

Thanks guys. In general do you prefer client based managers over web based? I am thinking if the client becomes compromised you still have the web..Just covering all scenarios. I am buying crypto and hear about scammers calling my mobile providers to gain access.

Hello, it seems each time I upgrade cinimon I have to also deal with finding solution to getting this printer driver to work. My last post for mint 18.3 has been left unanswered.
