I have a Dell Inspiron 910 and am receiving a running in low graphics mode error. I believe the error was caused by attempting to install a game I did not have the proper space for. I have tried a few of the fixes described in previous posts but have had no luck. I get messages that I have zero space remaining.

Try deleting a few files from your home folder.
In case you have separate home, and the root partition is full,
clean cached packages
sudo apt-get cleanremove old kernels and headers
dpkg -l linux-* | awk '/^ii/{ print $2}' | grep -v -e `uname -r | cut -f1,2 -d"-"` | grep -e [0-9] | xargs apt-get -y purge
To delete files from terminal, use the following commands:
cd /home/duane/ #change to the home folder
ls #list the files
rm file_name

How do I delete files in home folder from the terminal? I only have access to root or terminal modes with the low graphics error. – Duane Mar 19 '13 at 17:46
