Version: 2.6.4 OS: Linux this is with KDE 4.6.5 (not available in the dropdown). Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. run out of disk space. 2. try to use Konsole. Actual Results: * Konsole is totally unresponsive. * the mouse cursor disappears when hovering over Konsole windows. Expected Results: either Konsole keeps working as normal, or it shows an error message describing what features are unavailable while disk space is low.
That 'try to use Konsole' is a bit ambiguous. Is konsole already running or not? What is the exact sequence? 1). run out of disk, then start konsole ? 2). or start konsole first, then wait for running of disk?
launch Konsole, then run out of disk space, then try to continue using Konsole.
Yes, the problem exists. More precisely, it happens only when konsole genereate more scrollback after the disk is full. If I just type a few letters in konsole without generating noticable scrollback, then konsole is still very responsive. The real problem is whenever new scrollback is generated, konsole write it into /tmp/kde-<users>/konsolexxxxxx.tmp. When the disk is alredy full, that will cause the issue.
I would say that this is not an issue: The system will not work correctly with the disk full, at all. Can we close this?
The only other option would be for Konsole to recognize the space issue and delete the scrollback files. I'm not actually sure what modern distro would handle running out of space
