Bug Description
I do not have clear description of the problem.. Friend called and asked for help, X did not start and prompted for 'one time low resolution session', but it also failed, and looped. It turned out that there was a single partition, and it become 100% full. The question is: should Ubuntu be "smarter" in that case? When booting from Live CD, it is able to work without any disk device at all. Should it detect the inability to write some files, and show warning, instead of crashing?
