Error saving pinboard /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin: No space left on device
I'm running a LiveCD. Whenever I try to log out, reboot, or shut down, this happens. I can't get back to my Xubuntu. I"m afraid that manually reseting would damage my RAM or something.
Please Help!

If you hold down your power button your computer should turn off. I have never heard of ram being damage in this way before and have done it myself many times without problem. But I am no expert and would not like to commit myself, although it will work. Maybe someone can confirm whether or not ram can be damage in this way?

Pull the plug; it won't hurt a thing. Nothing short of a hammer or a lightning bolt can damage RAM. A computer that can be damaged by an unexpected power failure is so poorly designed as to be worthless anyway.

Yes, you need to increase the size of your save file, or delete some stuff to free up space. I think you should still be able to shut down if you do Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, then run `poweroff`.
