So. Today I was trying to use my computer and found this.
When i tip the right password, the screen blacks out and goes back to that screen.
What version if the operating system are you using?
Switch to a tty and make sure you are fully up to date
Iām not sure. I have downloaded it last month from the oficial page.
Switch to a what?
I saw the link and I donāt remember deletting anything.
I have pasted some data in a partition of the disk that contained some Windows archives.
Press ctrl+alt+f3
Then login using you username and password
Type
uname -a
What is the output ?
Type each of those commands I gave you I that link.
What is the output?
Ctrl+alt+f7 to switch back to a graphical login and try logging in again
How exactly did you do that ? Maybe have you moved some other files needed for starting your budgie-desktop ?
Some readings : What is a tty ā terminal ā command line
Nothing happens.
Where?
Iāve cutted it from a removable hard drive. I donāt remember touching anything related to the files needed for starting my budgie desktop.
pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 to F7 will always change the TTY - 1 to 6 will be text based. TTY will change the to the graphical login screen.
Hold down CTRL - then whilst holding down CTRL - hold down ALT - and whilst still holding both CTRL and ALT Press your F3 key.
The only shortcut that seems to work is ctrl + alt + f5.
When iām there, I try to log in and the answer is this:
Then, ctrl + alt + f7 doesnāt do anything.
Since you cannot log in using your normal account you will need to reset your password
Please follow this advice on how to do this
@Luncheon_Ticket hoping itās not too late
Ā« FĆ©lix Ā» as a login name may look strange.
Donāt misread me, itās a nice name but login names are usually only lowcase and without accents.
Did you try with Ā« felix Ā» ?
@fossfreedom well no reproach as it can be helpful but resetting password should remain a kind of last survival emergency kit, lol.
Good spot! I didnāt notice the username but was concentrating on the fact that the OP couldnāt login.
The name with the uppercase and acent used to work.
When I try with felix this is what appears:
Didnāt try that. Thanks Coeur.
In the last line it says in spanish that it cannot create a temporal file because of a lack of sapace in the device.
Does it sound possible that your disc, or that partition of disc, is Ā« full Ā» ?
df -h
will show storage capacity of your partitions.
ncdu
is a simple tool to check your disk usage ( use āāāā keys to browse ) and eventually delete files and folders ( hit d key as delete and ? for help ).
To install it
sudo apt install ncdu
Often culprits for disk usage are old linux kernels.
sudo apt autoremove --purge
may free some space by deleting unused packages, including older unused kernels from automatic updates ( not the manually installed ones ).
And also
sudo apt autoclean
by cleaning local indexes of no longer useful downloaded packages ( my pity translation sorry )
Anyway I am not sure a full disk explains why you canāt acces your desktop.
Itās quite possible.
I think itās jus showing the partition it made for Budgie when I installed it. I left 100gb or so for the OS to use.
Installed ncdu, ran the autoclean successfully, the - - purge command gave me this answer:
Iām also not sure if the full partition is the problem. But my current password seems to work well.
Also. How do I turn off the computer with a command? Last time I tried holdin the buttom it turned off very abruptly. I donāt know if itās good for the pc.
yeah - 100% will cause issues such as not being able to login.
The command is
sudo apt autoremove --purge
there is NOT a space between the dashes (ā)
To shutdown from the command line
sudo shutdown now
To reboot from the command line
sudo reboot --
After running the autoremove how much space have you freed?
dh -h
On the last line it says something like:
E: purge package couldnāt be found.
Thanks by the way.
There should not be a space between --purge
sudo apt autoremove --purgeAnother typo.
No space after the two - itās āpurge and not ā purge as shown on your picture.
( well true that the font or its spacing on this site is not perfect, two short - look as one long ā in plain text and in code two - show a bit much space between them )
Wherever applicable, copy and paste are better for avoiding typo.

Yeah. At the first try I wrote it witout the space and it responded something like:
E: that line of order doesnāt make sense.
The second try I left a space to see if that worked.
