My configuration: - Fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04.1 - HP z800 workstation with 2x Xeon X5680 - NVidia GTX 1070 Ti w/ 3 screens attached I need to stick with LTS releases but if there is a way to install a particular version of gnome-shell with the bug addressed I'd be happy to give it a try. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772677 Title: gnome-shell filling up syslog with thousands 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 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
