Hello! I'm not a Ubuntu pro user, but I'm trying to learn more and more.
Yesterday, I experienced the same situation as described here.
I work with molecular dynamics simulation, specifically with a program
called GROMACS. When I was trying to do a simulation, the program told
me it would take

This is a largely misleading bug, at least as far as Unity is concerned.
The default set up is to rotate all user-session logs once every hour,
with 7 previous logs saved compressed. With a normally operating
desktop session, this should be more than good enough.
Where things go awry is if you
would somebody kill this stupid logevent soon ?

Ok, before rebooting, I just removed the offending file. It is growing
at a rate of 1Gb every 10s or so. I will try logging out and in, and see
if the log is still growing continuously ...

It just happened here. I will need to clean up and reboot. This is how
it looks like
lmilano@grisell:upstart$ ls -lh unity7.log
-rw-r- 1 lmilano users 53G Nov 12 16:03 unity7.log
lmilano@grisell:upstart$ tail unity7.log
_xgeWireToEvent: Unknown extension 148, this should never happen.
To be clear: I removed the file before rebooting, but it got regenerated
and refilled at a furious pace, with the same message: _xgeWireToEvent:
Unknown extension 148, this should never happen.
At that time, top was reporting upstart as the most process, obviously
caught in an infinite loop
Same problem, also unity7.log is the culprit.
It is filling with:
_xgeWireToEvent: Unknown extension 148, this should never happen.
I am running an upgraded 14.10.

Same here. My 120Gb SSD just filled up. Good thing I'm an advanced user
and I could manage to find the offending folder. A newbie would just
need to give up. The harddrive analyzer would not give any info (maybe
because the disk was full).
In my case, it was unity7.log, which was about 50Gb.

confirming same issue, only thing that made it so bad was creating a
autoban script for repeat offenders, in any event this is obviously a
huge bug, just 'sudo rm -rf ~/.cache/upstart' and will baby sit this bad
boy. Ubuntu 14.04.1 Desktop fresh install :(

Just chiming in that this has effected me as well. Usually get the 'disk
space is low' warning, then an 'rm -rf ~/.cache/upstart' clears up the
issue. This has happened multiple times. Just tried removing logrotate
and reinstalled as someone recommended earlier in the thread.
Running 14.04.1,

This isn't limited to Unity. Just found my start-kde.log had swollen to
several gigabytes because of a V4L bug that VLC had been spewing out for
several minutes.
Upstart needs to be more clever about repeated messages. syslog can, for
