Breezy Badger seems to be still very beta (significant crashes)

[Holger Rumland]

Hello everyone,
since the last stable Ubuntu/Kubuntu version was released and to be
considered stable
I had already 3 significant crashes on Ubuntu and the last time on
Kubuntu. I these cases
the whole GUI froze up and afterwards the system was unusable, because
the root directory
filled up during the crash to 100% within minutes. I have several
Distributions on my Laptop
with 1 GB memory and 7 GB partition size for the root (Kubuntu) and 12
GB for the root (Ubuntu).
These partitions maybe used by around 20 % before the crash, afterwards
they show with the
df command that they are to 100% used. I tried to find a core dump file
but could not find anything.

a) I would like to know what happens during the crash that the whole
root partition fills up within minutes
to 100% so quickly ??

b) How can I trouble shoot and free up the partition to the status
before the crash so that I can use this
system once again (in this case right now Kubuntu) ??

I would appreciate to get some help in order to fix this problem. As I
do not want to reinstall the system
all the time this happens, I am looking forward to a good
workaround/solution I case this happens again
also from the developer site of Ubuntu/Kubuntu.

Thanks in advance

Regards



Holger
