Bug Description
When the ~/phablet tree has media files added to it by the user, it is possible for the storage space to be filled, and consequently for the device not to boot.
From the OEM project bug:
"After further investigation this problem was caused by the following:
1) Files were pushed to ~phablet/xxxx
2) The files filled the home partition completely
3) Upon a restart of the phone the upstart session job /usr/share/
4) Because the partition is full, the final line of the pre-start stanza fails as $HOME/.
5) As there is no running dbus session instance unity8 fails to start
Clearing space on the home partition allows unity8 to start again."
Posted here, since following discussion in #ubuntu-touch it has the same underlying cause as bug #1270248, also reported on this package.
Raised as a separate bug, because this was caused by user action, rather than simply the system failing to do log housekeeping.

could you please attach the output of:
adb shell df -h
for when this happens ... it seems that this is solely related to the homedir (unlike bug 1270248)
