Cannot Log Into Ubuntu Linux - Please help!

I am not able to login traditionally into my Ubuntu Linux, because the hard drive is full. How do I login into the command line, so that I can delete some files and free up some disk space?

When I attempt to log in, it bounces me back to the login screen.

That's easy stuff


This isn't

No I did not write this nor do I know it by heart but I've written some code that is almost as bad

Would there be any much difference in execution speed? Is there any justification for single line monsters? I'll allow them for personal use perhaps..

Especially considering that perl is an interpreted language (meaning you don't create a self-runnable executable binary when you're done), it is difficult at best to optimize the stuff by arranging code in a specific way and rather it's just an exercise in using efficient calls and reusing results that garner the best improvements. Large, hard-to-read single lines are done usually for that purpose: to make it more obfuscated. It may also be done as a personal preference I suppose.

Also, as a C programmer, I feel it necessary to again denounce the evil that is perl. If I don't they take away my System Programmer card

lol.. I still remember all the good things Pascal used to force me to do when I did a bit of coding at Uni.

To my mind though truly optimised code would involve timing diagrams and a hex editor. Otherwise you are limited by the compiler / interpretation. At my level of skill at any language I played with I settled for including my flags at compile time...

In many, many cases this is the absolute truth, however there are those specialized situations (usually a tight mathematical algo) that can be done best in assembly, hence the inline assembly capabilities of most compile-able languages.

Also, linux_0, you know my jabs at perl are all in good fun. I fully appreciate what perl can do and have even written a few system maintenance apps in it. It's just not usually my cup of tea.

icc and AMD chips, that always did roast my onions....
