I just got hit with this bug as well. Fresh Ubuntu 18.10 install on a Desktop (Ryzen 2995x, 32GB RAM, Vega 64, 250GB NVMe /, and 1TB Evo 860 SSD /home) with two monitors (1 vertical using DP, and one horizontal using HDMI), only thing I did post install was install a few flatpaks from flathub (Discord, Telegram, VSCode, Slack), and a snap (CLion) as well as a Rust toolchain (https://rustup.rs). Went to bed, went to work the next morning, and when I came up the computer appeared to be frozen as it wouldn't wake from sleep. After a hard reset and login, I noticed I couldn't do an update do to "disk full". Checked `df` and saw `/` was full. Quick checking of dirs lead to `/var/log/syslog` being 230GB from a single night/day of no use!
My plan is to do a re-install (with Kubuntu which is what it was prior to this install), however if there is something else I can provide that would help track down this bug I will (assuming I see a message prior to the nuke/pave). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772677 Title: gnome-shell filling up syslog with thousands of entries with stack traces ending in osdWindow.js (lines 206/207 in bionic, lines 223/224 in cosmic) Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/602 --- I'm seeing a several gigs (more than 70GB) a day of the following entries on syslog: May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: == Stack trace for context 0x557ebb0a3320 == May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #0 0x7ffcc6cedf80 I resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/osdWindow.js:206 (0x7f31f00c96f8 @ 231) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #1 0x7ffcc6cedff0 I resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/_legacy.js:82 (0x7f31d4db5de0 @ 71) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #2 0x7ffcc6cedff0 I self-hosted:915 (0x7f31d4df12b8 @ 367) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #3 0x7ffcc6cee090 I resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/signals.js:128 (0x7f31d4dd3230 @ 386) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #4 0x7ffcc6cee140 b resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/layout.js:531 (0x7f31f00042b8 @ 127) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #5 0x7ffcc6cee1b0 I resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/_legacy.js:82 (0x7f31d4db5de0 @ 71) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #6 0x7ffcc6cee1b0 I self-hosted:915 (0x7f31d4df12b8 @ 367) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: == Stack trace for context 0x557ebb0a3320 == May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #0 0x7ffcc6cedf80 I resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/osdWindow.js:207 (0x7f31f00c96f8 @ 258) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #1 0x7ffcc6cedff0 I resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/_legacy.js:82 (0x7f31d4db5de0 @ 71) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #2 0x7ffcc6cedff0 I self-hosted:915 (0x7f31d4df12b8 @ 367) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #3 0x7ffcc6cee090 I resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/signals.js:128 (0x7f31d4dd3230 @ 386) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #4 0x7ffcc6cee140 b resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/layout.js:531 (0x7f31f00042b8 @ 127) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #5 0x7ffcc6cee1b0 I resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/_legacy.js:82 (0x7f31d4db5de0 @ 71) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #6 0x7ffcc6cee1b0 I self-hosted:915 (0x7f31d4df12b8 @ 367) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: == Stack trace for context 0x557ebb0a3320 == May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #0 0x7ffcc6cedf80 I resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/osdWindow.js:206 (0x7f31f00c96f8 @ 231) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #1 0x7ffcc6cedff0 I resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/_legacy.js:82 (0x7f31d4db5de0 @ 71) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #2 0x7ffcc6cedff0 I self-hosted:915 (0x7f31d4df12b8 @ 367) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #3 0x7ffcc6cee090 I resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/signals.js:128 (0x7f31d4dd3230 @ 386) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #4 0x7ffcc6cee140 b resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/layout.js:531 (0x7f31f00042b8 @ 127) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #5 0x7ffcc6cee1b0 I resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/_legacy.js:82 (0x7f31d4db5de0 @ 71) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #6 0x7ffcc6cee1b0 I self-hosted:915 (0x7f31d4df12b8 @ 367) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: == Stack trace for context 0x557ebb0a3320 == May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1469]: #0 0x7ffcc6cedf80 I resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/osdWindow.js:207 (0x7f31f00c96f8 @ 258) May 21 23:54:55 fc553042 gnome-shell[1469]: Object St.Icon (0x557eca1b2e90), has been already finalized.
