in fact the situation has improved with karmic as there is this popup window telling you that you are running low on disk space now. i think it kicks in as soon as free disk space drops below 2 gb but it might be a percentage, too.
it offers you to empty the trash and warns you that you are running in serious trouble (even though the wording could be still more dramatic, because i witnessed quite some data loss due to this bug). so the problem is not really fixed, but something changed for the better. -- Many programs misbehave when running out of disk space / can't login to fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/22842 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
