The gnome log is filled with completely non-actionable log messages for anyone other than the developer of the given app: (firefox:5419): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed (putty:17960): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 95654 was not found when attempting to remove it -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dbus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284164 Title: ~/.cache/upstart grows enormous Status in dbus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: $ du -hs ~/.cache/upstart/ 454M /home/smoser/.cache/upstart/ $ ls -altr ~/.cache/upstart/ | egrep "[0-9]{6,} " -rw-r----- 1 smoser smoser 14105029 Feb 10 08:53 gnome-session.log -rw-r----- 1 smoser smoser 3112634 Feb 23 23:09 gnome-settings-daemon.log -rw-r----- 1 smoser smoser 1179973 Feb 24 08:29 indicator-application.log -rw-r----- 1 smoser smoser 4129955 Feb 24 09:31 hud.log -rw-r----- 1 smoser smoser 18668572 Feb 24 10:13 unity-panel-service.log -rw-r----- 1 smoser smoser 429582393 Feb 24 10:13 dbus.log -rw-r----- 1 smoser smoser 3708061 Feb 24 10:13 gnome-session-ubuntu.log $ uptime 10:15:17 up 14 days, 1:20, 24 users, load average: 1.09, 0.95, 1.33 I suspect my desktop has been logged in and being used for about 14 days, but clearly not longer. Also, it has gone through 'apt-get dist-upgrade' in that time (those are possible excuses for the above). However, I have 450M of data in a ~/.cache/upstart and 430M in a single file.
