Oops, I had MUTTER_VERBOSE=1 and MUTTER_DEBUG=1. I also had MUTTER_USE_LOGFILE=/tmp/mutterlogs, and there were mutter log messages definitely going to /tmp, so it's surprising I was getting so much spam in /var/log/syslog.
With those turned off, I'm not getting constant spam but I do still get a lot of messages in syslog like so: Feb 3 11:20:31 xps15-9560 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[2297]: #11 0x7fff4db73230 I self-hosted:917 (0x7feebc3ee5e8 @ 394) Feb 3 11:20:31 xps15-9560 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[2297]: == Stack trace for context 0x5654e9533000 == Feb 3 11:20:31 xps15-9560 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[2297]: #0 0x7fff4db71cc0 b resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/tweener.js:80 (0x7feebc3ddef0 @ 82) Feb 3 11:20:31 xps15-9560 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[2297]: #1 0x7fff4db71d60 b resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/tweener.js:105 (0x7feebc3df230 -- 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/1746859 Title: gnome-shell wayland is spamming syslog with wl_ messages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1746859/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
