Further reading would suggest that it's a bug in Nautilus and the way that gvfsd deals with trash: https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/l0gg32/a_helpul_tip_for_those_with_gvfsdtrash_hogging/
It runs out that I don't have ding installed, and also no references to gvfsd. Yet, if I do as the post above says and kill the gvfsd process when it's running it stops my root drive filling up with an enormous syslog. How do I transfer this bug over to Nautilus? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1976498 Title: DING causes gvfsd 'Too many files open' error and fills syslog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ding/+bug/1976498/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
