| Post subject: | Problems logging into Mythtv |
Hi, this is my first post here, but I've gotten a tremendous amout of information from this forum and many question answered. However, I haven't been able to track this problem down in this forum or in the wiki. I have been running KnoppMyth quite successfully for about 5 months I recently had two power failures while the system was on (nothing as serious as a lightning strike, just loss of power to my house). After the last one I noticed the system hanging up a bit more than normal so I rebooted the PC, and found there were errors that needed to be corrected by running fsck manually. I unmounted the volumes and ran fsck. Now, during logon I receive the following message: Code: GDM could not write to your authorization file. This could mean that you are out of disk space or that your home directory could not be opened for writing. In any case, it is not possible to log in. Please contact your system administrator.
So now I can't logon, get to a terminal and am not sure where to go from here. Any help would be much apprecieated. Thanks! |

Well, it looks like I can logon as root and get fluxbox (that's a good thing). I ran the df command from a terminal and it looks like /dev/hda1 is indeed 100% full. Does anyone know what can be deleted or why it would become full and how to avoid in the future?

Thanks, turns out there was 1.7 GB of log files in /var/log/mythtv 8 files titled mythbackend.log thru mythbackend.log.8 were the culprets. The overall theme to the log files contents was: error: file I/O problem in safe_write(), errcnt=1 read-only file system error: file I/O problem in safe_write(), errcnt=2 read-only file system error: file I/O problem in safe_write(), errcnt=3 read-only file system Any ideas what causes that error and is there a job that can be set up to delete the files, warn me of exceding disk capacity threshholds or an overall fix? I'm still a bit new to linux in general, but just a few pointers in the right direction is all I usually need. Thanks. |
