Package: gpm Version: 1.20.4-6.1+b2 Severity: important I don't know if this is strictly gpm's fault, but that's what coming up in the log messages so I'm starting here. Feel free to re-assign if appropriate.
My root partition filled up and it turned out to be due to 20GB of deamon.log saying: Jan 11 06:24:53 e106839-lin /usr/sbin/gpm[2991]: Failed gpm connect attempt by uid 1000 for vc /dev/tty0 Jan 11 06:24:53 e106839-lin /usr/sbin/gpm[2991]: *** warning [daemon/processconn.c(133)]: Jan 11 06:24:53 e106839-lin /usr/sbin/gpm[2991]: Failed gpm connect attempt by uid 1000 for vc /dev/tty0 Jan 11 06:24:53 e106839-lin /usr/sbin/gpm[2991]: *** warning [daemon/processconn.c(133)]: Jan 11 06:24:53 e106839-lin /usr/sbin/gpm[2991]: Failed gpm connect attempt by uid 1000 for vc /dev/tty0 Jan 11 06:24:53 e106839-lin /usr/sbin/gpm[2991]: *** warning [daemon/processconn.c(133)]: Jan 11 06:24:53 e106839-lin /usr/sbin/gpm[2991]: Failed gpm connect attempt by uid 1000 for vc /dev/tty0 125 repetitions of the 2 lines every 6 seconds. This started on the 7th Jan at 09:15. I'm not sure what happenned then, as dpkg.log only has entries on the 6th and 8th. /var/log/messages has: Jan 4 20:53:30 e106839-lin mc: *** info Jan 4 20:53:30 e106839-lin mc: Warning: closing connection Jan 4 21:01:05 e106839-lin mc: *** info Jan 4 21:01:05 e106839-lin mc: Warning: closing connection Jan 5 06:25:21 e106839-lin rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="5.8.11" x-pid="2412" x-info="http://www.rsys$ Jan 5 06:25:21 e106839-lin rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="5.8.11" x-pid="2412" x-info="http://www.rsys$ Jan 6 06:25:20 e106839-lin rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="5.8.11" x-pid="2412" x-info="http://www.rsys$ Jan 7 06:25:09 e106839-lin rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="5.8.11" x-pid="2412" x-info="http://www.rsys$ Jan 7 09:15:59 e106839-lin rsyslogd-2177: imuxsock lost 229980 messages from pid 8274 due to rate-limiting Jan 7 09:15:59 e106839-lin mc: *** info Jan 7 09:15:59 e106839-lin mc: Warning: closing connection which seems to show that mc is involved (which makes sense, because it uses gpm) And sugests that in fact this started at Jan 4 20:53:30 But again nothing changed packagewise at all on that day. So, I'm not sure what started this, but upgrading to jessie on the 13th Jan, and rebooting did not make it go away. I am still getting thousands of messages every few seconds in user, messages, syslog, and daemon logs. removing gpm and rebooting makes the messages stop. It seems to me that all this indicates a bug in something (mc/gpm/something else), and it's quite bad for the user. I anyone has any ideas I can try to follow up some more. I have now had to delate all the massive logs though in order to gert my machine working again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
