I had a functioning Leap 15.1 system. I installed apcupsd and enabled it to start at boot. My UPS has a serial cable. For about a week, I got messages that communication with the UPS was lost within about a minute of the desktop's loading. Now the system will not boot to the desktop and I get a message that the system cannot communicate with /dev/tty0. I am told to type the root password to do maintenance. If I do that and then type yast, yast starts, but not as root, so I can't do anything to the system, I am also given the option to press Control-D to continue to boot, but that just sends me the same message after a couple of minutes.
I don't care about the serial port or whether the system can communicate with the UPS. I can't figure out how to start Yast as root so that I can set apcupsd to start manually.
A different question. My root partition is full. How can I delete some files from the /tmp directory so that the system has room to write error messages?
I've been using OpenSuSE for quite a while, but I'm not really a power user, obviously. Any help will be appreciated.
