Something is MAJORLY wrong with something... I can't even login anymore (into KDE). Like another user somewhere else said, normal users might just have to give up on their PC in this case :/.
Fortunately, I'm an advanced user and could log in remotely from another PC and find out that two partitions had been filled up entirely: 1) Firstly, the partition containing /home/carlo/.cache/upstart : -rw-r----- 1 carlo carlo 38G Mar 24 01:05 /home/carlo/.cache/upstart/startkde.log that's 38 GB of repeated spam, and then, because this partition (.cache) ran full, 2) also my home directory partition was filled: -rw------- 1 carlo carlo 1.5G Mar 24 00:29 .xsession-errors with the repeated spam of 20739073 times: init: Failed to write to log file /home/carlo/.cache/upstart/startkde.log Really? 20739073 times? Of course it only stopped because then the partition was full (which only had 1.5GB free). The spam in /home/carlo/.cache/upstart/startkde.log exists of an infinitely number of times the repeat of: cannot connect alsa-jack.jackP.3627.0:out_000 to system:playback_1 AL lib: (EE) ALCplaybackAlsa_mixerProc: start failed: Input/output error Server is not running Which isn't that weird since I have to start the JACK server by hand. Now I'm sure that whatever is flooding with this log message is in error, but imho also upstart shouldn't create log files of 38 GB at 100 MB/s because anything is flooding it with repeated lines of messages... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1505660 Title: ~/.cache/upstart/startkde.log fills up every available disk space To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/1505660/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
