I just got hit with this bug as well. Fresh Ubuntu 18.10 install on a
Desktop (Ryzen 2995x, 32GB RAM, Vega 64, 250GB NVMe /, and 1TB Evo 860
SSD /home) with two monitors (1 vertical using DP, and one horizontal
using HDMI), only thing I did post install was install a few flatpaks
from flathub (Discord, Telegram, VSCode, Slack), and a snap (CLion) as
well as a Rust toolchain (https://rustup.rs). Went to bed, went to work
the next morning, and when I came up the computer appeared to be frozen
as it wouldn't wake from sleep. After a hard reset and login, I noticed
I couldn't do an update do to "disk full". Checked `df` and saw `/` was
full. Quick checking of dirs lead to `/var/log/syslog` being 230GB from
a single night/day of no use!
My plan is to do a re-install (with Kubuntu which is what it was prior
to this install), however if there is something else I can provide that
would help track down this bug I will (assuming I see a message prior to
the nuke/pave).
