I have 2.5 GB of free space in $HOME, and a gwibber.sqlite file that is 3.5 GB in size
Every 14 minutes gwibber starts writing a gwibber.sqlite-journal file, which fills up until I'm out of space. 2 minutes later it is deleted, and 5 minutes after that it starts filling up again. I think this has gone on for hours. So that may be a separate bug from the underlying issue of the database being wastefully big to start with, but I'm just pointing out that it can end up eating up to twice that amount of disk, and running into this pathological periodic trashing of free space. I'm running 12.04 precise, with gwibber 3.4.2-0ubuntu2. What are some workarounds? How can I e.g. temporarily just disable gwibber when I'm low on space or get rid of it entirely? What are the consequences of uninstalling it? What are alternatives to gwibber? I don't even care much about the tweet notifications.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/799356 Title: gwibber stores extreme number of messages in gwibber.sqlite To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/799356/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
