I see from a later response that your / partition is 100% full. That
will defintely cause problems. Whether it's THE problem, we won't know
until you clean out / to less than 100%, say at least 90%. Less would
be better.
I don't know why your / is 100% full. I'm running Stretch and my
20GB / is only at 31%, and /var. /tmp, /usr are not separate
partitons. Even on my Wheezy install which I ran for 5 years, /
never was higher than 50% full and it was only a 16GB partition.
