[Bug 589275] Re: client application error messages fill up disk in .xsession-errors
I've never experienced this before, but when I upgraded to ubuntu 11.10 64 bit I got the same problem. The hard drive is filled up with .xsession-errors which makes it difficult to use the machine for anything useful after a few hours! Hope someone can fix this soon.. the errors I get in the xsession-errors file is (nautilus:6232): GLib- GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589275 Title: client application error messages fill up disk in .xsession-errors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/589275/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I see the same error messages as toddmallen on 11.04 64-bit with pidgin 2.7.11 (1:2.7.11-1ubuntu2). It's about 20 of these per second, causing ~/.xsession-errors to grow by several GiB per hour! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589275 Title: client application error messages fill up disk in .xsession-errors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/589275/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 589275] Re: client application error messages fill up disk in .xsession-errors
Can confirm this issue is not fixed (or at least not in all cases). I just had my disk fill up overnight with endless repetitions of the following: (Pidgin:21050): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_poll_write_control: assertion `set != NULL' failed todd@europa:~$ ls -lh .xsession* -rw--- 1 todd todd 311G 2011-05-26 08:52 .xsession-errors -rw--- 1 todd todd 232K 2011-05-15 00:09 .xsession-errors.old Certainly, this is due to a misbehaving app, which in this case appears to be Pidgin, and I'll report this there as well. But would it not be possible to limit the size of an error log file, rolling off old entries after the size limit is reached? I'd much rather see that behavior than the disk filling up. If it would be better to file a new bug for this particular issue, please let me know. However, I think a permanent fix (a size limit) would be a much better idea than fixing individual cases of things that fill up the disk space. I can fix it for now by replacing .xsession- errors with a symlink to /dev/null, but that's a pretty ugly kludge. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589275 Title: client application error messages fill up disk in .xsession-errors -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
