To be clear: I removed the file before rebooting, but it got regenerated and refilled at a furious pace, with the same message: _xgeWireToEvent: Unknown extension 148, this should never happen.
At that time, "top" was reporting upstart as the most process, obviously caught in an infinite loop throwing this erroor about the extension 148. It seems like this is the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1369113 And it seems that the spamming, at least, would be removed with an upgrade of libXext to 1.3.3. Or at least, it would be nice to backport the relevant patch http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/22124/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240848 Title: ~/.cache/upstart takes up around 70GB of space due to unity and mediascanner Status in Unity: New Status in “mediascanner” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I just noticed that ~/.cache/upstart/ folder on my computer is taking up 69GB of space. Upon further investigation, I found out that mediascanner.log and unity-panel-service.log take 12GB and 54GB of space respectively. I'm not entirely sure if this is related to upstart as I had removed logrotate package because of a conflict.
