Drive Full Login Loop - Mikeee - 07-05-2024

Linux Lite loops back to a login screen after entering password, instead of finishing loading.

System Information
Linux Lite 5.4 (and older since at least 2019 https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/start-up-and-shutdown/boot-sequence-stuck-in-loop/msg48088/#msg48088)
HP Pavillion dv6

Expected Behavior
A. Booting to desktop with drive/partition/volume full error message.
B. Or, drive full error message (hopefully with options to remove files).

Actual Behavior
1. Asks for login.
2. Accepts login.
3. Loops back to login with no feedback or error.

Steps to reproduce
1. Fill drive up through use and updates.
2. Shut down computer.
3. Loop starts at next boot.

Related Feature Request
1. Notification/message that the drive is almost too full to boot/work.
2. The option to turn this notification off.

This is a very unusual request.
Any Linux has a simple way to check the state of the drives:
In a Terminal, type:

Code:
df -h


On my machine, it looks like that:

Code:
 serban  ~  df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs           1,6G  3,1M  1,6G   1% /run
/dev/sda2        31G   16G   14G  53% /
tmpfs           7,8G  198M  7,6G   3% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5,0M  4,0K  5,0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs           7,8G     0  7,8G   0% /run/qemu
/dev/sda5       9,8G  1,6G  7,7G  17% /proiecte
/dev/sda6       288G  152G  121G  56% /video
/dev/sda1       511M  7,0M  504M   2% /boot/efi
/dev/sda3        59G  6,3G   50G  12% /home
tmpfs           1,6G   80K  1,6G   1% /run/user/1000
 serban  ~  

Everybody who uses a computer should know how much space is still available.
Can you check the above and then post back the result?

Best regards, Șerban
