Doctor, It Hurts When I Boot My Linux

[nemorathwald]

The hard drive on my Linux computer is 2.7 gigabytes. And yet when I upgraded from Kubuntu Breezy Badger Beta to the official release of Breezy Badger, it reported that it couldn't finish the process because the hard drive is full. I checked the properties panel for the hard drive and indeed, it was full.

My problem today is that when I type in my password (which I know is correct) to log into the computer, the monitor clicks as if changing resolution, the screen goes black, then grey with a grainy clock mouse cursor, and then back to the log in screen again.

that should say ctrl + alt + f1. I used greater than and less than symbols and, lj thinks it's html.

Thanks for the help. I used sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade like you said. I restarted it and it's getting past the login screen now, but all it runs is Konsole.

Goody! Do the update. And then dist-upgrade till it reports 0 updates/installs, and then reboot.

If you're getting errors upon dist-upgrading, you may need hands-on technician type help.
