I got the low disk space kde notification I think timeshift did an auto backup to home coz it decided to do it on its own when I closed the application the config reset and now my whole os is frozen I can just open a terminal and type two letters can't close anything or so anything
How do I clear pacman cache at least or kill timeshift in this scenario
viscid sinew
can you run things with alt+f2 or similar
you could run killall timeshift to kill it
its also theoretically possible to run pacman's cache cleaner (pacman -Scc) in a terminal directly, assuming you know what is your terminal
ocean oriole
I'll try alt f2 I was trying to remember the command to swap
I can't type in terminal in this state
viscid sinew
to go to a tty, you use ctrl+alt+f4
ocean oriole
It's very frozen
viscid sinew
but you can open a terminal, so thats something
ocean oriole
That was before but I can't now I came back lol rip
Ctrl alt f4 won't work
Alt f4 won't work
I think I'm proper frozen now
The only thing is when I moved my mouse from standby the screen brightened a bit
So that's still functioning
viscid sinew
well, theres always an option to reboot to the live iso and clean up some garbage
viscid sinew
yes
ocean oriole
What a shame timeshift changed itself by my pressing the X
I don't have an arch USB anymore
Any other options
Maybe from kde login screen I'll swap tty
viscid sinew
do you have an android phone and a usb otg dongle, or a second computer?
viscid sinew
Maybe from kde login screen I'll swap tty
assuming you get to the login screen
linux might not like not being able to write to the drive
ocean oriole
I have access to a laptop running a version of Arch
viscid sinew
I have access to a laptop running a version of Arch
well, you can burn a new archiso to your usb from there
ocean oriole
Dang I need a new USB
Okay
I just got one T the store for timeshift backups
Before it shut itself
Okay I'll force restart
My screen won't even display anything
Gg
Wait after the logs screen I made it to kde login screen
Should I try alt Ctrl f4
viscid sinew
do it
ocean oriole
From Login screen nothing happens
But I'll try login
I can also go to an environment like i3
Instead of plas me a x11
Shit, I'm just stuck on the spinning wheel
Plasma is ubabwmt is tart
To start
Home direction is out of disk space
Directory
Ok
viscid sinew
go to a tty (ctrl+alt+f4), log in there and remove some garbage using commandline tools
ocean oriole
I can't seem to tty from this error
Maybe if I press on
Ok first
I did it
I made it to another tty
Even tho nothing on the screen changed
So login as my user not as root
Then pacman -Sc
And idk where the timeshift backup was made but I'll want to delete that
Damn it's been a while since I've been in terminal and tty
Tryna to remember cuz I just came back to Arch
That's why I was gonna do a backup so then I could update keyrings and upgrade
Hm
Lsblk doesn't show how much size is available hey how do I show it normally in terminal view
I think I found today's automatic snapshot by the stupid program
Inside timeshift / snapshots
How do I view the size of it and delete it
Looks to be a folder
Yeah it's an rsync thing with log
ocean oriole
go to a tty (ctrl+alt+f4), log in *there* and remove some garbage using commandl...
Could I just -Rm or open timeshift GUI from in here to remove snapshots? From tty
Looks like it made backups in snapshots, snapshots daily , monthly, and weekly
Maybe boot to who knows
I rm-rf'ed all the folders
