Hi,

So I installed trisquel onto my libreboot laptop and it worked for 2-3 days until I installed KVM and two virtual machines. I was able to use the virtual machines until I restarted the computer. Maybe the files were to large and is not allowing me to access my disk? I'm able to bypass the encrypted passphrase but not the login screen. Here is a video: hxxps://youtu.be/MbbtC2Fz250

Did you try to login in console mode?

How would I do that? Thanks for your response.

It indeed looks like you will be able to log in a text session. To get one, you can type Ctrl+Alt+F3 (for instance). You may then want to rename ~/.config (here as ~/config):
$ mv ~/.config ~/config
Then, type Alt+F7 (or is it Alt+F1?) to get back to the graphical session and see if you can log into it.

I had a similar problem after upgrading Guix once (I had it on two computers), it was solved by adding this to ~/.profile:

export XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/local/share:/usr/share/${XDG_DATA_DIRS:+:}$XDG_DATA_DIRS"

If you have Guix installed, you could also try that.

Okay so I typed that command, do I have to do “cd ~/.profile” first? And then use the export command?

Sorry, I meant that what was quoted should be added to a file called ~/.profile, not to be typed as a command (it does not hurt but it does not add it to the file).

You could use nano to edit ~/.profile (command "nano ~/.profile") but you can also do this:


$ cat >>~/.profile
export XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/local/share:/usr/share/${XDG_DATA_DIRS:+:}$XDG_DATA_DIRS"
Ctrl+D
$

The "$" is only to show where you have a prompt, don't type it.

The command "cat>>~/.profile" means that what you type after is added to the file ~/.profile. "Ctrl+D" means press the Control key and the D key together, this is creates an "End Of File" character, which terminates the addition.

I would first diagnose the issue rather than assuming what is causing it. From a tty session (Ctrl + Alt + F2) or remotely from another PC on your network with SSH, login and verify how much storage available there is on mounted partitions using "df -h", you could also try to login from the display manager ("graphical" session) then run "journalctl -r" on tty and see if there are error logs related to login that could help to solve the issue.

Yep, I ran out of space. It says there's no available space in left on device. I found the directory of where I moved the Virtual Images and deleted them and I was able to log back in. Thank you guys for the help!
