David Grossberg, one could extrapolate your position to every application that logs information. This viewpoint is unfortunately a cart before the horse. For example, why as a software maintainer (which viewed by all maintainers of every application, driver, etc. that this is an application issue,

Not reproducible in Vivid. However, this is too broadly scoped, with way too many applications to be actionable by one report. If this is reproducible in a supported release, please file one bug report per application causing an issue (not slam multiple applications together) via a terminal: ubu

You system administrators out there know just how grumpy some applications can get when the disk space runs out. Indexes get out of sync and critical things can crash in ways that make them nearly impossible to recover. I have suggested that the default configuration be changed to in four ways to

I just deleted a 73GB file, as I did not have any free space left. I just quickly browsed through it and it is not just Remmina (I do not ahve it), but (almost) all running applications seem to contribute to this file. Within an hour or two the file grew already to 400kB. It would be nice if * it

However, if you have tried to delete the file and do need to free the space without logging out or restarting, for example when you have open documents that need saving and there is no more free disk space this should work: find /proc/*/fd -type l -lname '*.xsession-errors*' 2> /dev/null this wil

The horribly bad thing about this bug as people have probably noticed is that trying to delete the .xsession-errors file will not recover the free space. This is due to how linux/unix handles deletions through unlink such that the space is not freed until the every process with a file handle to th
