I am facing serious issue. My hard disk was extremely full that 0 bytes available. I tried to empty the trash bin but it hanged. I restarted the system. But it failed. It gives this messages:
[FAILED] Failed to start MySQL Community Server.
Seee 'systemctl status mysql.service' for details.
The cursors is blinking but I can't type anything.
Is there any hope that I boot the system under sort of last known good configurations
or safe mode
like in Windows?
I made hardware test and the device is healthy. Please help me disable MySQL or boot my system I just need my data because lots of work there.
EDIT:
The device company can not help with data backup. They can only format and install the system. I need my data.

The problem has been solved by rebooting the system in the
recovery mode
. To reach therecovery mode
in Ubunut 18.04, click the leftShift
bottom andEsc
. Then you will get options, chooseClean
which deletes some unnecessary files that can free up few hundreds of MBs. My main problem was full disk (0 Bytes available). After that, I could reboot successfully.
