Re: [Bug 1175386] Re: .xsession fills up with gstreamer junk, then system effectively dies
I just don't use it any more. but it is a more generic problem than rythmbox. no program and/or file should be able to overrun the system disk. /iaw Ivo Welch (ivo.we...@gmail.com) http://www.ivo-welch.info/ J.

[Bug 1175386] Re: .xsession fills up with gstreamer junk, then system effectively dies
In my case, it is Rhythmbox that has filled the .xsession-errors file. I used less on that file, jumped to the end of the file, and paged up. For about a minute, all I could see where the lines: (rhythmbox-metadata:29775): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_bus_timed_pop_filtered: assertion `timeout == 0 || bus-priv-poll != NULL' failed over and over again. The xession-errors file is 27 GB, and has now maxed out my system. I am going to delete this log file and if it keeps filling up, I might have to do some fiddling to keep it from being written to. I wish I could find out why this is failing though, to cause all these errors. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175386 Title: .xsession fills up with gstreamer junk, then system effectively dies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1175386/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 1175386] Re: .xsession fills up with gstreamer junk, then system effectively dies
don't think deleting will work, because the OS process has a hold on the file. you may need to log out or reboot to get rid of it...if you can, because the system becomes unresponsive. good luck. /iaw Ivo Welch (ivo.we...@gmail.com) http://www.ivo-welch.info/ J.

This is hapening to me too. Plus, because I use btrfs, when I run out of space I can't even delete files.
