Public bug reported: When colord starts colord-sane spams the logs with a lot of SNMP stuff.
I spoke to the colord maintainers, and they found that: chmod -x /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/colord-sane stopped the spam, as you might expect. The log messages look like this: Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: MIB search path: /var/lib/colord/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/snmp/mibs/iana:/usr/share/snmp/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/site:/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/us r/share/mibs/iana:/usr/share/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (SNMPv2-MIB): At line 1 in (none) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (IF-MIB): At line 1 in (none) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (IP-MIB): At line 1 in (none) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (TCP-MIB): At line 1 in (none) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (UDP-MIB): At line 1 in (none) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (HOST-RESOURCES-MIB): At line 1 in (none) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB): At line 1 in (none) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (DISMAN-EVENT-MIB): At line 1 in (none) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (DISMAN-SCHEDULE-MIB): At line 1 in (none) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (HOST-RESOURCES-TYPES): At line 1 in (none) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (MTA-MIB): At line 1 in (none) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (NETWORK-SERVICES-MIB): At line 1 in (none) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (SNMPv2-TC): At line 15 in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-DISKIO-MIB.txt Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (SNMPv2-SMI): At line 34 in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (SNMPv2-TC): At line 37 in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Did not find 'enterprises' in module #-1 (/usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Did not find 'DisplayString' in module #-1 (/usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Did not find 'TruthValue' in module #-1 (/usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Unlinked OID in UCD-SNMP-MIB: ucdavis ::= { enterprises 2021 } Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Undefined identifier: enterprises near line 39 of /usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Did not find 'DisplayString' in module #-1 (/usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-DISKIO-MIB.txt) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Did not find 'ucdExperimental' in module UCD-SNMP-MIB (/usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-DISKIO-MIB.txt) Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Unlinked OID in UCD-DISKIO-MIB: ucdDiskIOMIB ::= { ucdExperimental 15 } Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Undefined identifier: ucdExperimental near line 19 of /usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-DISKIO-MIB.txt Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Cannot find module (SNMPv2-TC): At line 10 in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-DLMOD-MIB.txt Oct 3 10:42:07 test-Inspiron-3137 colord[1368]: Did not find 'DisplayString' in module #-1 (/usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-DLMOD-MIB.txt) The theory from colord is that it could be a sane plugin which is doing this. Is this a bug? Can something be done to stop the logs filling up with this? ** Affects: sane-backends (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795861 Title: SNMP errors spamming the logs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1795861/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
