My computer just started acting up. I tried to open Audacity and I walked away from the computer after I started the program. When I came back it hadn't opened. I tried again to open it and I got a message saying that it was already opened. I tried to open Synaptic to install kwave and I got a ton of errors saying that it couldn't load the repositories. I tried to open a terminal to install it that way and the terminal didn't open.
When I rebooted I got the error message "X Session warning Unable to write to /temp X session may exit with an error" when I entered my login information.
I have no idea what is happening. I need some help, please.

Re: X Session warning Unable to write to /temp
Are you sure it was /temp and not /tmp as there is no /temp folder.
Did you change the mode of the /tmp folder with chmod or change anything else related to the /tmp folder

Sorry, it must have been /tmp. I didn't change anything.

Mute Ant
Re: X Session warning Unable to write to /temp
That's a symptom of Linux switching the OS file-system to read-only because it cant be trusted. You can reboot the installation into Recovery Mode and do a file-system check. Personally I prefer to set the file system to check-every-boot. What's the point of waiting for errors to cause a problem?
Re: X Session warning Unable to write to /temp(solved)
Mute Ant, how do I set the system to do a file system check every time?
I booted into recovery mode and I did a file system check. It still didn't boot normally I rebooted into recovery mode and I chose the clean option. After that the system booted normally.

Re: X Session warning Unable to write to /temp
To mark the OS file-system for regular checking before mount...
o Open a console and enter the command
o Set check-every-1-mounts with the command
If there's nothing wrong, the check adds around 10 seconds to the boot time... I think it's worth it.
o Open a console and enter the command
df / to determine the Linux 'handle' of the root file system. It will be something like /dev/sda1 Use that handle in the tune2fs command shown next.o Set check-every-1-mounts with the command
sudo tune2fs -c 1 /dev/sda1If there's nothing wrong, the check adds around 10 seconds to the boot time... I think it's worth it.
