Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility
How to reproduce :
- start long operations filling disk space, for example big downloads or DVD rip, etc..
- Ubuntu (gnome-disk-utility/gdu-notification-daemon) pop ups messages warning that the disk has few space left, and proposes to empty trash. Remark : if the user has left his computer he will not see all these messages.
- when disk is full (less than ~10Mo, I did not check exactly), log out your session, or restart your computer
Result : it is IMPOSSIBLE to start a graphical session (Gnome, KDE, Lubuntu, Openbox, Gnome backup session...), and there is no explanation about it in GDM.
The only one working is the xterm session, which is not understandable by non-technical users.
What I propose :
- In a short term : warn the user (via gdu-notification-daemon pop-up windows for example) that "a full disk prevents from starting a graphical session" (or more generally "Ubuntu may not work properly if the disk is full or nearly full")
- In a medium term : find a way (quotas?) to ensure that the users can always start a graphical session |

We can also add a "More information" button explaining the technical reason (need to write in /tmp ...).
- In a medium term : find a way (quotas?) to ensure that the users can always start a graphical session
Another (dirty IMHO) solution is : prevent applications such as file managers, P2P, ripping applications, from filling all disk space. Or make them warn the user about possible risks.

Propositions of improvement :
- In a short term : warn the user (via gdu-notification-daemon pop-up windows for example) that "Ubuntu may not work properly (impossible to start a graphical session... ) if the disk is full or nearly full". We can also add a "More information" button explaining the technical reason (need to write in /tmp ...).
