I’m having troubles starting my Ubuntu session on my computer, which is set up in a dual boot with Windows. I keep getting an error message that says: Failed to start Gnome Display Manager
.
After several troubleshooting attempts, I discovered that my hard drive is full, particularly the partition /dev/nvme0n1p6
. I have tried several solutions to free up space, including:
Cleaning the package cache:
I used sudo apt clean
to remove old cached files.
Deleting temporary files and system logs:
I attempted to delete files in /tmp
and cleaned the logs with sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=3d
.
I also used sudo apt autoremove
which allowed me to remove unnecessary packages, but I still don't see a significant improvement in space.
When I wanted to update the packages, I saw that the /var/cache/apt/archives
folder was full as well.
Despite all these attempts I still cannot get my Ubuntu session to start.
