[Bug 815722] [NEW] Xorg won't start if no space left in /

 

Public bug reported:

I do not have clear description of the problem.. Friend called and asked
for help, X did not start and prompted for 'one time low resolution
session', but it also failed, and looped. It turned out that there was a
single partition, and it become 100% full. The question is: should
Ubuntu be "smarter" in that case? When booting from Live CD, it is able
to work without any disk device at all. Should it detect the inability
to write some files, and show warning, instead of crashing?
