Same issue on Bionic, installed May 15 (2 months ago): ➜ ~ sudo journalctl --disk-usage Archived and active journals take up 4.1G in the file system.
My logs are definitely clogged with endless JavaScript errors from gnome-shell. Something I would not expect to slowly consume all disk space. What could be helpful feedback for this issue? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1790205 Title: systemd journals take up a lot of space, and it's not obvious how much is used, and what the upper limit is. Status in systemd: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After running Bionic for 3 months, I had 2.6 GB of journals. I would not expect from a normal desktop user that they should have to run commands like `sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=10d`. I would nominate this command as a sane default to have running at each reboot to ensure that logs do not exceed 500 MB: sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=500M Supposedly, a server should by default retain more logs, so perhaps this should be implemented through a configuration package "systemd- configuration-desktop" as a dependency of the ubuntu-desktop meta package? ..... as it turns out, it's hard to see how much disk space is used, and what the upper limit is, even when it is set and respected by default.
