Yes, it also affects version 470 of the drivers.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1846374] Re: Having a video playing/paused when switched to another user generates gigabytes of error logs
Hi everyone! Just deleted 2 syslogs which sized 83GB altogether. The problem still persists. Another things which I saw, after clearing the syslogs. The recursive loop does not only appear when we go to suspend mode with paused vlc or when switching users. For me, it created a bit more than 400 lines of code by just opening a movie with VLC and then pausing it to check what's happening in syslog. I think that's a big problem already, since I bought an ssd a year ago and the health already dropped to 98% from 100%. I don't leave my partition full all the time if anyone would wonder and I don't write / read a lot to it. So I can only imagine that these big chunks of reading/writing of codes did damage to the ssd's health. I'm not going to risk it, I am changing vlc to something else. I will begin the hunt now. P.s: Rubo's workaround didn't work for me.

7GB in my case. I am the only user, but what I do in a rare case is put the computer into Suspend mode. Truly stupid behavior, to fill up a log with 7GB+++ of same error, without ever showing an on-screen notification to a user (ONLY ONCE PLEASE, NOT SEVEN BILLION NOTIFICATIONS), ASSUMING this error has any significance to the user whatsover. Yes, Linux suspend behavior needs polishing. Video does not resume, etc, etc, etc. I only use it on a rare forced need, but multiple things break on resume of session after a Suspend. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846374 Title: Having a video playing/paused when switched to another user generates gigabytes of error logs Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-418 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-435 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-440 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: To replicate: 1.
