So, you deleted the image with your user account?

yes

ok.

got the warning that there was no space left on the drive, deleted the file, went into the trash and clicked 'empty'

nothing happened, waited about 20 minutes, nothing for sure was happening.

rebooted, can't login now

mkay.

Can you reboot your computer into recovery mode?

??

how would I do that?

reboot whilst holding shift.

( I can get to grub if that helps )

Select the More Options in GRUB and select recovery mode.

kk loading

I imagine I should select 'clean' ??

(recovery menu now)

no

root

where is the trash on Ubuntu by default?

not sure.

we can find it though.

that works :D

so login to the root shell

df still shows sdb1 100% used :/

did you go to rootshell and run the rm command?

yes

ok. df likes taking time to update.

If you rmed it, it's gone.

Reboot to normal mode

and locking up after the login again

:(

realy?

not "locking" just doing nothing

back to root shell.

there

in root shell?

mount the partition with the image as RW.

ahhhhhhh

I'm in a read only file system

can't remove anything

just tried to rm another file

...

mount -o remount,rw /

/ not mount or bad option

did you type it exactly as above?

yes

no space between remount, and rw?

nope

dropped out of the shell and back in and now it didn't complain about that :/

meh.

it works now.

so once it's mounted as rw, run rm -rf /home/<your_username>/.local/share/Trash

and try again.

still nothing, but I had used ~/.local

lemmy try putting in the direct path (that probably cleaned roots trash)

@rlemon yep.

root is now happy that their trash is clean

HUZZAH!

7% used!

thankyou so much

now lets see if I can login

and I can!

awesome

grats

thankyou again

np

I can stop head-desking
