Can't open any apps

I don’t know what happened, but today I just booted up like normally, but then when I tried opening any app on my computer, it wouldn’t start, it just showed like loading but never appearing. The only apps that are open are the ones I had configured to open with the system boot, I can’t even use the plasma buttons for anything, not even turn off or reboot.
I asked deepseek and I reinstalled plasma, it worked for just one time and when I rebooted it was like before.
I did this two commands:

sudo pacman -Syu plasma-desktop plasma-nm kwin --overwrite='*'
mv ~/.config/plas* (I think this one did nothing but I did it)

Whenever I open something on my desktop (app, image, pdf, etc.) I get this type of message:
Unit app-org.kde.okular@15e9f5a536984f6fae9eb8e841cf8d1e.service not found.

One thing to notice is that I could open the terminal right after I logged in, no other time.
The only terminal I have available all the time is ctrl+alt+f3 (TTY)

Deepseek suggested to include this outputs:

journalctl -b -p 3 --no-pager

Bad idea. :smirking_face:

From the error description and the error message, it looks like tmpfs is full. Check whether this is the case:

df -h

If so, then take a look here:

Try running an application from the terminal and see if any output shows up there.

Ahh…that command is awfully risky. I don’t think anyone should be running that on any system.

this is what I got from the command:

I listed the programms that uses tmp like in the other post, and I got firefox and another thing that idk what is

Should I change the size of tmp or see what is eating 1,6g?

I will never trust my pc to an AI again :skull:
I didn’t know what to do and I didn’t understand what the other post said about it

This should apply to more than just your PC. No matter what it’s about, you can’t trust an “AI.”

Tmpfs is full:

That is your decision. I would first delete the unnecessary files that take up too much space.
If you run into the issue often, then simply change the size of tmpfs as described in the linked topic.

It is mainly this firefox folder that takes up a lot of space:

Delete the contents of this folder:

rm -rf /run/user/1000/psd/emanuel-firefox-i6n10q9g.dev-edition-default-1/storage/permanent/chrome/idb/3870112724rsegmnoittet-es.files/*

and then reboot.
