Thanks to your comment I also realized that journald still logs the dmesg driver spam which results in bloated journald log files as well. Few more steps is required to alleviate that:
1. sudo vi /etc/systemd/journald.conf 2. Uncomment Storage=auto and change it to Storage=none 3. Uncomment ForwardToSyslog=yes 4. Save the file changes and reboot This way logs are still forwarded to syslog where i2c_hid messages are filtered by the blocklist config file but you lose the ability to monitor logs using e.g. journalctl. I would like to emphasize that this is a temporary solution which works pretty well for my purpose but might not be a good fit for others. Please try to work around this behavior on kernel driver level first before resorting to syslog/journald shenanigans. Eagerly looking forward towards a fix for Elan touchpads. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1784152 Title: i2c_hid_get_input floods system logs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1784152/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
