    Red face Can't login to Ubuntu

    Hi there
    I get a message after I enter my login details

    "GDM could not write to your authorisation file. This could mean that you are out of disk space or that your home directory could not be opened for writing. In any case, it is not possible to login. Please contact your administrator".

    I wouldn't think that installing Beryl and Awn on to a 22GB partition would use that much space!!!!

    Is there a way around this or will I have to reload from the live cd???

    Thanks

    You're definitely not out of space....there is another issue, I would boot from a live cd and see if you can get into your hardrive that way
