[TriLUG] Ubuntu went nuts

[Jason Tower]

sounds like a drive in its death throes (bios not seeing it, out of 
space errors).

I tried switching to KDE and got an ICE authority error message.  If I do not login the system stays up and I can ssh in and even start freenx to bring up the user desktop.  However the systems seems to run slower than usual over freenx. We also go an out of disk space error message once but DF shows the main drive with 78% free.  Any ideas on where to start?  I have 2 kids who run around the house and randomly press keys occasioanally.
