Cannot login

Support Installation

Good time of day to y’all!

Ok, so thank you for clarifying that the update && upgrade should be run as sudo kaisen-update. Last night successfully made it 2.2 - 6.0.0. Overnight however I ran out of space (don’t ask, it happens) and now I cannot login at all. I assume it’s either the disk is full or cache is full or both - maybe that’s not the reason, I’m just guessing.

But now I cannot login at all. It boots to a login/password screen. I enter and then it hangs for a second and throughs me back to login screen. The credentials are correct. Booting to 5.19 gives me the same hickitty…

Any suggestions? I am able to boot into a live distro, but not sure what to do next.

Problem solved. Lack of space was the reason.

Booted off a live distro (not Kaisen, but I guess Kaisen would work just as well).
Tried to access home folder - naturally, permission denied.
So:
sudo chmod -R ugo+rw /path/to/folder
moved it to another disk and rebooted.

Thank you New York. Good Night.

Hmmm…
Why were the permissions of the /home/username folder changed?

When I booted off live stick? good question. any thoughts?

No, in your installed system.

No, the permissions weren’t changed in the installed system. I had to change them to move stuff when I booted live.

What I’d like to know is why I there wasn’t a notification that, you know, “achtung! you’re running out of space. better free up some space or you won’t login next time and the system won’t tell you why”.

Hi !
There is a notification when you are running out of space. I had it when I accidentaly reduced my volume.

I would like to just add : if you would like to change permission over your home folder, better change the owner because now any user can change your personal files, be careful xD

I’ll keep that in mind in case of future hick-ups. Thank you, niki.
