antiX 17.4.1 was working ok. Now can’t log in as user, only root. User directories and files still intact. Root can change user password in terminal.

Is your /home full?
If not, remove the .Xauthority file in ~/home, and try to login again (as user).- This reply was modified 3 years, 6 months ago by anticapitalista.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
Thank you for the reply. Yes, /home was full. I deleted some things and ran apt-get clean. The underlying problem is that only ~8 gb was allocated for the whole system.

Suggestions welcome!

Make the separate partitions, Mount them. Rsync (copy) the directory that you would like to be in the other partition to that partition preserving user/groups/permissions. Modify /etc/fstab to automatically mount that partition to The location you have just copied from.
I like to do this from a live session as to avoid trying to copy in use / currently being modified files. Then verify that the system works. Followed by loading a live session again to remove the old directory.
