[SOLVED] GUI not working. Machine booting...

[NickRO19]

I cannot reach the gui. I can ssh into the machine fine but none of my vms are up...

When trying: "systemctl restart pveproxy.service"
I get: Job for pveproxy.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. See "systemctl status pveproxy.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Input: systemctl status pveproxy.service
Output:

Looks like your drive is full. Free up some space using SSH and reboot.

Looks like your drive is full. Free up some space using SSH and reboot.

I read that the drive had no space but i never thought that could be a reason not to boot. I notices it hanged after attempting a VM backup and then stopped being able to sign in to gui. I deleted the backup and now all is back to normal! Thank you very much for the boost in confidence. I was unsure and didn't want to delete a backup since I didn't know for sure if I'd need it. THANK YOU!
