I created a little workaround for this problem. To apply:
sudo -s cat <<_EOF_>/etc/rsyslog.d/49-modemmanager-workaround.conf # Workaround for bug from modemmanager spamming the logs # https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager/+bug/662791 :msg, contains, "Duration: " ~ & ~ :msg, contains, "Access Technology: " ~ & ~ _EOF_ service rsyslog restart This will prevent modemmanager writing these two types of messages to any log. Works for me at least. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662791 Title: modem-manager writes to log every 2 seconds -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
