Is there any fix or workaround for this bug? I installed a brand new copy of Ubuntu 18.04 on a brand new 512 GB SSD three days ago on Saturday evening (2019-03-09). I installed online updates during installation. It is now Tuesday evening (2019-03-12). The computer has been locked for most of the time since installation.
In my /var/log directory, I have two enormous files: syslog (188.2 GB) syslog.1 (264.5 GB) And one smaller compressed older file: syslog.2.gz (313.6 MB) (I can confirm the issue I am experiencing is the error related to "osdWindow.js:207" on 18.04.) This needs a fix ASAP! I can't have my desktop filling up its storage with hundreds of gigs of errors every day! (~188 + ~264= ~452 GB in two or three days) I've attached the output of ls -l /var/log for proof since these are some of the largest hard numbers I've seen mentioned in this thread. ** Attachment added: "Output of: ls -l /var/log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1772677/+attachment/5245730/+files/filesizes.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772677 Title: gnome-shell filling up syslog with thousands/millions of entries with stack traces ending in osdWindow.js (lines 206/207 in bionic, lines 223/224 in cosmic) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1772677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
