When you boot, /tmp should be completely empty. Did you remove the directory
and re-create it? if so, you need to set the permissions correctly:

You /tmp probably is no longer writable by your user login. This also happens
if your filesystem is full.

Check the permissions on /tmp. It must be 777 with the sticky bit set.
