Public bug reported:
Due to what I think is an unrelated bug, I've ended up with a 9.5G
/var/log/syslog. Now when I boot my system, it hangs for around a minute
before I get a graphical login screen. I had thought the system was
failing to boot entirely for a while.
I spotted a grep of /var/log/syslog started by gpu-manager together with
grep in D state in my process listing, so I think the cause is that gpu-
manager greps my syslog and takes so long.
I don't think it's reasonable to hang the boot for so long, even with my
bloated syslog. Nothing else is breaking due to this and I expect the
bloated ones to rotate out.
Is there a better approach to whatever gpu-manager needs to do, such as
to only grep the last X bytes of the syslog, perhaps? Or find some other
way? grepping syslog seems fragile to me.
I also note that I can't remove ubuntu-drivers-common (dependency from
software-properties-gtk, which I want). I'm not sure that I need it.
It's OK for it to be there, but if it cannot be removed then that's more
reason for it to be particularly well behaved.
