Description kono93 2017-01-07 12:28:15 UTC 
I've encountered a problem when my HDD was full in such a way that I could not login anymore. After pressing enter at the login-screen, there was a black screen for about a second and then the login-screen again.

It turned out, after quite a lot of searching, that was due to my HDD, which was full.

This is something that can easily be checked at every login and which may help quite a lot in debugging such errors. So, I suggest, if the hard disk has less than, let's say, 2MB of free space whilst at the logon-screen, there should be an error-message saying this.

Are you using kdm or sddm as the login manager?
Comment 2 kono93 2017-01-09 22:31:14 UTC 
I'm using kdm as login-manager.
Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2017-01-09 22:56:23 UTC 
kdm is no longer maintained, so this check will not be added.
