Public bug reported: When running steam /var/log/syslog gets flooded with error messages. Growing it insanely fast to gigantic sizes > 100 MB in a matter of hours.
The lines in question: Oct 22 19:07:56 NEXUS-ONE steam.desktop[9806]: This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. Oct 22 19:07:56 NEXUS-ONE steam.desktop[9806]: process 9990: arguments to dbus_connection_unref() were incorrect, assertion "connection->generation == _dbus_current_generation" failed in file ../../../dbus/dbus-connection.c line 2824. Oct 22 19:07:56 NEXUS-ONE steam.desktop[9806]: This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. This happens very fast, just did a measuerment on it and it was about 213K per 2 minutes wich syslog grew. Shutting down Steam stops it completely. Bu thats not a real option since we like to play our games, don't we? :) ** Affects: steam (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: gnome-17.10 ** Description changed: When running steam /var/log/syslog gets flooded with error messages.
